Obsessed with being "first with the hot new girl in town; first to be shown a hot new screenplay; first to be offered a hot new part" No sooner had Evans split with wife Ali McGraw than Beatty was asking her out. Henry Kissinger: Evans says the Good Doctor asked him for advice when Richard Nixon wanted to fire him.

Evans suggested that Kissinger get Hugh Sidey at Time to write a flattering article about him. He did; it worked. Getting dressed before a state dinner at the White House, Evans noticed that Kissinger's gut was busting out of his tux. He suggested his friend drop 20 pounds. Said Kissinger: "I can't afford to Between alimony, child support and taxes, if I lost weight, I'll have to buy a new wardrobe." And why had Kissinger invited him to the dinner? "So we could schmooze about some girl he had met," writes Evans.

"Like a little boy in junior high school, he said, 'She took out a little brown bottle and a straw. She was snorting cocaine right in my I said. 'Do you think I should ever see her 'Absolutely not What's her 'I suppose you want her phone 'You're damned right I A rumor going around this week had it that Evans is about to bolt or get booted from the Paramount lot where he has his deal. Evans says the chatter is "absolutely untrue." With Michael RiedeJ TJ0 haron Stone afraid to be alone with a man? So much for a Hollywood persona. In his forthcoming memoir, "The Kid Stays in the Picture," veteran film pro ducer Robert Evans serves up family-size portions of Hollywood dish including how, back when he was producing Sliver" for Paramount, Stone was afraid to meet with him at his home.

Why? A friend had told Stone that another woman who ventured into Evans' abode found herself drugged and enslaved in a dog collar. Evans tried to disabuse Stone of this notion, but claims that behind his back his associate Bill McDonald was setting himself up as Stone's Robert Evans protector by spinning other chilling tales that portrayed Evans as a truly dangerous man. The tactic worked, for a while, landing McDonald on the arm of the molten sexpot But in the end, McDonald, who left his wife for Stone, was himself dumped. Evans now has the satisfaction of telling his side of the story in a book that will be devoured in Hollywood. The "Sliver" intrigue is but one episode in a memoir that reveals Evans' secret history of Hollywood over five decades.

The draft I read has the tough slickness of one of Evans' own movies. Godfather," "Chinatown" and "The Cotton Club" come to mind.)
