Robert Evans

Hollywood lost a legend over the weekend. Film producer Robert Evans died Saturday, he was 89. Evans had a brief acting career but in 1962 he became a movie producer, using some of the money he had built up selling women's apparel in the 50s. It would be an understatement to say that things started to move really fast for Evans. Five years later he became the head of production at struggling Paramount Pictures where he turned things around quickly for the studio overseeing hits such as Rosemary's Baby and The Godfather.
