Bob Who? You Bet Your Sweet Ass
2007-Jul-27 by Laughcalvin
I never tire of Robert Evans stories no matter how short. Nikki Finke has one for Deadline Hollywood:
I was waiting to interview a Paramount mogul who was 45 minutes late, so I started chatting up the secretaries in the office. And one of them leaned over to me and whispered, "I have a question maybe you can answer. There's this guy with long stringy hair and weird dirty clothes who stops by from time to time. Someone told us he used to run Paramount." I thought hard for a half a second, and then I brightened. "Oh, it's Bob Evans. Yeah, he ran production at the studio. Got convicted for cocaine. And then was implicated in a murder. Welcome to Hollywood." The secretary's eyes went wide.
If you have never seen The Kid Stays in the Picture, a biopic about the Lizard himself, do.
