Chargement... The Kid Stays In The Picturepar Robert Evans
   Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) monicaberger | Jan 22, 2024 |  The author's massive ego is evident from page one and it doesn't let up throughout the entire book. If you can get past him telling us how great he is, how good-looking he is and how successful he is and how many women he slept with - you'll be fine. At times these "attributes" help to propel the narrative. But most of the time, they are just there to feed his monumental ego. One bit of advice - read this book in chunks. His story is a bit frenzied to take in all at one time. (  ) BenM2023 | Nov 22, 2023 |  ) etxgardener | Apr 16, 2022 | This is from the first line of the preface to this book, and it is completely appropriate. Evans recalls his 35 years in Hollywood, and definitely only tells his side. There were times when I hated this guy, and times when I loved him. But that is true of any honest memoir, and this is unlike any memoir I've ever read. There is no self-reflection-leading-to-redemption. It is all about him never changing who he is, and acknowledging that he is not always a decent person, but damned if he's going to change. He owns up to his mistakes, but refuses to change in order to avoid them in the future. There are times when he could have used a better editor to make a better overall narrative, and not just strung along one story after another, but his audacity and his insight into Hollywood alone make this book worth the read.

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.
