:09:05
...of pursuing two
careers on two coasts.
:09:07
Here in the East, Bob Evans
devotes his time and energy...
:09:10
...to being a vice president of the
Evan Picone sportswear firm.
:09:14
On the West Coast, Bob Evans devotes his
time and energy to being a movie star.
:09:18
And, at last reports,
he's doing pretty well at both.
:09:21
- Evening, Bob.
- Good evening, Ed.
:09:23
- How are you?
- Very fine.
:09:25
Now you're getting established
and recognized as a movie star...
:09:28
...how long do you think
you'll hold out as a bachelor?
:09:31
Just introduce me to the right girl, Ed,
and I can end my bachelorhood right here.
:09:36
With all the hullabaloo and excitement
about the new Valentino...
:09:40
...I wasn't getting the parts I wanted. There
were half a dozen parts offered to me.
:09:45
I was looking for bigger things.
:09:48
One day, my agent calls,
George Chasen.
:09:50
"Bob, I'm calling with good news. Fox is
remaking Kiss of Death into a Western...
:09:56
...and we've got you up for the Widmark
part. It made him a star overnight."
:10:00
Finally, I got my first title role.
:10:02
- Wow!
- He's a kooky killer.
:10:05
The most diabolical horror
that ever roamed the earth.
:10:08
The Fiend Who Walked the West.
:10:11
He'll cut out your heart or break your
neck, and laugh while he's doing it.
:10:16
My acting career was over and out.
:10:20
It was my last appearance
on the silver screen.
:10:28
At decade's end, I was sure of one thing.
:10:32
I was a half-assed actor, and I knew it.
:10:35
I knew I'd never become the next
Paul Newman...
:10:39
...maybe the next Troy Donahue.
:10:41
But do you know who I really wanted
to become? The next Darryl Zanuck.
:10:47
That was my goal for the '60s.
And I went for it all the way.
:10:53
Sounds easy, doesn't it?
:10:55
It ain't.
:10:57
Next to winning the Olympics, I don't
think there's a more difficult thing...
