Renowned 1970s studio executive who gained a cult following with his autobiography The Kid Stays in the Picture
Robert Evans, the flamboyant and controversial Hollywood studio executive and producer who counted Love Story, Chinatown and Marathon Man among his most influential films, has died aged 89. The news was confirmed by a PR representative.
Evans was best known as one of the key figures in 1970s Hollywood, and to a later generation through his no-holds-barred 1994 autobiography The Kid Stays in the Picture.
