The Kid Stays in the Picture

Rules are made to be broken. And Robert Evans has broken them all. He was the first actor to ever run a major Hollywood studio, Paramount Pictures. In a decade he took it from worst to first. During his tenure, he was responsible for such revolutionary films as "The Godfather", "Rosemary's Baby", "Love Story", "The Odd Couple", "Harold and Maude", and "Chinatown". Voted the world's most eligible bachelor, he was quintessential Hollywood royalty. In 1979, he had $11 million. With one mistake he spiraled south from legend to leper. In 1989, his worth was $37. Did he come back? Like a phoenix. His saga should inspire the most cynical. To quote Evans, "All my life I've lived on the edge and many times it came back to bite me. Was it worth it? You bet your a** it was." His outrageous story proves that, at times, fact is far stranger than fiction.
