He’ll be narrating his funeral in the third person from the afterlife.

Hell of a track record.
RIP

I'll always remember him as Irving Thalberg in Man of a Thousand Faces. Loved that film as a kid.

"The kid stays in the picture . . . if she sucks my peckah."
A true casting couch ghoul. If he was in his prime today, MeToo would have cut him to pieces.

He was a scumbag who's biggest skill was self-promotion. THE GODFATHER was made over his objections. He's the exemplar of he creepy casting couch rapist.
Piss on that turd.

Evans was against the casting of Pacino, but then so was everyone else besides Coppola -- including Mario Puzo.

Saul Goodman is Bob Evans if he was a sleazy Albuquerque lawyer instead of a sleazy Hollywood producer.
Bob Odenkirk has stated Evans is the inspiration behind how he approached the role on Breaking Bad. He imitates many of Evans’ mannerisms in the role.

I figured Bill Hader's President of Hollywood was based on Evans: YouTube

Absolutely based on Evans. The guy is a fricking legend. The Kid Stays in the Picture is on the Mount Rushmore of Hollywood docs.
Evans, Zanuck, Jerry Weintraub, etc. made Hollywood magical when it still had it. I miss those days

Oh man, what a crazy life he lead. I would have paid a grand to buy him dinner and listen to him tell stories. Besides Brian Grazer, he was the guy in Hollywood who fascinated me the most ( for entirely different reasons).

There's an old Patton Oswalt bit about how ESPN got him to do some radio ads and how he barely tied them into sports. Hits on how much of a creep he was. Really funny.

It's insane how the Hollywood press is making this guy look like the passing of Jesus. There's a middle ground where scumbags don't get a free pass at death. They can acknowledge that the Hollywood system is changing, or they can repeat it and continue to lose customers.
Edit, other notable scumbag deaths this year:
Sid Sheinberg - Universal/MCA
Alvin Sargent - Screenwriter - Spiderman movies
Michael Lynn - New Line Cinema
Andy Vajna - Warner Brothers
Steve Golin - Propaganda Films/Anonymous Content
David Picker - United Artists, Paramount, Columbia
Sammy Shore - The Comedy Store
Jack Gilardi - ICM Partners

Wait until Polanski dies.
Still remember Whoopi trying to rally him home.

Evans was an odd duck, but powerful at one time. He started downhill when Steve McQueen stole Ali McGraw.

Only if he is at the top of the credits
