Today's Guest: Legendary film producer Bob Evans (The Godfather, Love Story, The Cotton Club, Chinatown). 

 

Watch the exclusive Mr. Media interview with legendary film producer Robert Evans, author, "The Kid Stays in the Picture," by watching the video player above!

Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of well-dressed bean counters who wouldn’t know a deal they couldn’t refuse even if Marlon Brando delivered it to them in person… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida!

Legendary (and notorious) Hollywood film producer Robert Evans spent his entire career searching for movie franchises that would change his life, first as an admittedly underwhelming leading man and later as the head of Paramount Studios.

Little did he know that Evans’ own life story would be one of the greatest tales he’d ever tell.

As they say in Hollywood, this one’s got everything: sex, drugs, celebrities, vast fortunes won and wasted, and yes, even murrrrder!
ROBERT EVANS podcast interview excerpt: "The American film has become the biggest export we make in this country. (Recognizing that) is the biggest thing that's happened in the last 30 years."
You can LISTEN to this interview with legendary film producer ROBERT EVANS, author of THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE and THE FAT LADY SANG, by clicking the audio player above!

In his autobiography, The Kid Stays in the Picture, Evans paints a picture of himself as a guy frequently touched by luck over the course of his career. Unfortunately, good fortune was often fleeting in his experience, usually for reasons of his own making.

The man who rescued Paramount Studios from the junk heap of cinematic history in the 1970s and 1980s by greenlighting Love Story, The Godfather, Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby, Marathon Man, and Urban Cowboy lived the life of ten mortal men.
