Rest in peace. Godfather 1 and 2, Chinatown, True Grit would make a worthy binge-fest any day of the week.
Believe when he produced “Popeye” in 1980, that one turned out to be a disappointment and helped to begin his downward trend in Hollywood at the time. I have a PREMIERE magazine article about him written in about 1990 which discussed his ups and downs and at the time the comeback he started on at that time. Believe it was “The Two Jakes” that he was working on then.
Harold and Maude. Saw it at the same show as Blazing Saddles back in 1972. Weirdest movie I’ve ever seen.
Phyllis George was one of the most beautiful Miss America’s ever and it broke my heart when she married Evans. They were worlds apart......him Hollywood, her small town values.....I always wondered why.....maybe I was bored at that time in my life......;)
He also produced a lot of meatloaf. Not that Bob Evans?
The audiobook of him reading his autobiography is one of the greatest things ever.
I think I met them going to St. Ives.
There is a great documentary from 2002 called “The Kid Stays In The Picture” that was about Evans. The guys ego is monumental. Took create for The Godfather and Chinatown. Very little credit given to the directors, but nevertheless a worthwhile documentary.
