Personal Life
Evans has been married seven times but none of his marriages have lasted more than three years. His first was to Sharon Hugueny (1961–1962). After his first divorce came Camilla Sparv (1963–1965), Ali MacGraw (1969–1972), Phyllis George (1977–1978), Catherine Oxenberg (1998), Leslie Ann Woodward (2002–2004) and Victoria White (2005–2006). Evans' marriage to Oxenberg was annulled after nine days. He married White in Mexico on August 2005 shortly after his 75th birthday. She filed for divorce on June 16, 2006, citing irreconcilable differences. In the film adaptation of the autobiography The Kid Stays in the Picture, only Ali MacGraw is discussed, and their relationship is discussed at length. Evans has one son, Josh Evans, also a producer, from his marriage to MacGraw.
Joe Eszterhas repeatedly describes his friend, Evans, as "the devil" in his book, Hollywood Animal, and goes on to say that "all lies ever told anywhere about Robert Evans are true."
Meredith Rhule, his personal in-home movie projectionist, indicates that Evans absolutely knows how to impress potential movie backers. "I have seen almost every movie star, top models, heads of studios and heads of states walk into his home. Bob Evans is the Godfather of Hollywood."
