The Kid Stays in the Picture: A Notorious Life – A Bestselling Hollywood Memoir and Gold Standard of American Cinema Storytelling
<p>Robert Evans' <em>The Kid Stays in the Picture</em> 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.<br /> <br />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, <em>The Kid Stays in the Picture</em> is driven by a voice as charming and irresistible as any great novel.<br /> <br />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, <em>The Kid Stays in the Picture: A Notorious Life</em> is sharp, witty, and self-aggrandizing, and self-lacerating in equal measure.<br /><br />This is a must-read for fans of American cinema and classics of the canon, including <em>The Odd Couple</em>, <em>Rosemary€s Baby</em>, <em>Love Story</em>, <em>The Godfather</em>, and <em>Chinatown</em>.</p>
