The Fat Lady Sang by Robert Evans - ★★★
After seeing the film, for the kid stays in the picture, waiting a great deal of time, listening to the audio book, then reading the Kindle edition, and now finally reading the fat lady saying Robert Evans follow up to the book that recreated and re launched his life.
It's very personal. Spending time with Evans, he feels like an old friend, imparting stories from a lifetime, while in the previous book, he focused more of stories on Hollywood. In this book, he focuses on stories of personal survival as he endures multiple strokes, losing most control of his body and regaining some of it.
It's inspiring to hear the stories of his lifelong friendships with Jack Nicholson and
Warren Beatty, to hear of the excellent speech given for his David O Selznick award by Dustin Hoffman, and the impact he's had on so many by making his films and by making his way through Hollywood. It's sad to hear that his animated cartoon show, Kid notorious, only had one season on Comedy Central due to disagreements that you wish an older man could have navigated better. The most important thing was keeping his show on the air, and fortunately, he got tied up in petty disagreements and lost the show.
A difficult to find book not available on Amazon, had to use other means, according to the acknowledgement notes, in the end, it was a breakthrough in digital publishing, so I'm not sure it went too well, but it's great to spend a little bit more time with the kid who sadly shuffled off this mortal coil.
You expect the book to be perhaps a defeat, as it is called the fat lady saying, and you wonder, what could what good could have happened to Evans after the magnificent good told in the kid stays in the picture. However, as it turns out in the book, much of his success and joy with the kid stays in the picture happened after his first success as a major and expansive second act.
It was neat to hear that story recounted in the fat lady saying, as well as his success as the voice of Sunday night football when it was relaunched on ESPN, or maybe NBC,
either way, Evans is a true original, and if you've read the audio book and listened to the movie, when you read this book, you'll hear his voice too in every line, even though he's gone. It's a joy to read memoirs, and it was a joy to read the fat lady sang by Robert Evans, who.
