The Kid Stays in the Picture

De: Robert Evans

Narrado por: Robert Evans

Robert Evans' The Kid Stays in the Picture is universally recognized as the greatest, most outrageous, and most unforgettable show business memoir ever written. The basis of an award-winning documentary film, it remains the gold standard of Hollywood storytelling.

With black-and-white photographs from the author's archive and a new introduction by the legendary actor, producer, and Hollywood studio chief Robert Evans, The Kid Stays in the Picture is driven by a voice as charming and irresistible as any great novel.

An extraordinary raconteur, Evans spares no one, least of all himself. Filled with starring roles for everyone from Ava Gardner to Marlon Brando to Sharon Stone, The Kid Stays in the Picture: A Notorious Life is sharp, witty, and self-aggrandizing, and self-lacerating in equal measure.

This is a must-read for fans of American cinema and classics of the canon, including The Odd Couple, Rosemary’s Baby, Love Story, The Godfather, and Chinatown.

What can I say?

Robert Evans narrating his life, chef’s kiss!

Do not hesitate downloading this, it’s worth every minute of listening!!

Great Insight into Hollywood

The book lived up to its hype. I’ve heard about this book for many years now and finally got around to listening to it. Luckily, Bob Evans narrates it as only he could and should. You can feel the love and eagerness as well as disdain for all that is his life and Hollywood. Anyone curious about a great man, his rise, his fall, and just the movies in general should give the book a listen.

Huge life

A remarkable life well told with a narration that perfectly matches the prose. If you want to know what making movies meant in the 1960s and 1970s then this is a must listen.

Amazing

This book was fantastic. Having Robert Evans narrate his own story made it feel to me like he was in the room with me telling me a story, which he was in a way. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys tales of Hollywood.

An icon of his and any time

Many people can put a story to page. Few lived the story. Evens is one. His voice telling the stories of his career is worth the listen. Let alone the tales and insight. Glad I finally heard it. I wish it was ten times longer.
