New York, New York, U.S.A. : Hachette Books, 1994. 1st Edition 3rd Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. One of the best Hollywood memoirs by anybody, this autobiography by actor, producer, studio head and legendary 'bad boy' Robert Evans is an intimate account of his rise, fall, and rise again in show business. From 'being discovered' by Norma Shearer and Darryl Zanuck to his improbable rise as the first actor to ever direct a Hollywood studio, this is a page-turning story as compelling as the most gripping fiction. Under Evan's aegis, Paramount Pictures went from the cellar to the penthouse, with such movies as 'The Odd Couple,' 'Rosemary's Baby,' 'Love Story,' 'The Godfather' and 'Chinatown'. An extraordinary raconteur, Evans spares no one, least of all himself, chronicling Hollywood's last half century, and its second golden age as well. Laced throughout this roller-coaster read are his fascinating liaisons with some of the world's most beautiful women, including his marriage and divorce to Ali MacGraw and Phyllis George. With shocking candor, this producer's producer tells all about the lurid dark years of the '80s; his cocaine arrest; his implication in what were dubbed the 'Cotton Club Murders'; his thoughts of suicide; his self-committal and escape from a mental institution. And lastly, his return to the catbird seat of power, once again raising shockwaves through Hollywood and the world. Fine, in fine mylar cover. BUND, Hachette Books, 1994, 5<
