He first joined Paramount in 1967, at just 36, as its youngest-ever production chief, and then transitioned into producing such films as 'Chinatown' and 'Rosemary's Baby.'
Robert Evans, one of the most colorful figures in Hollywood history, and Paramount Pictures, the studio with which he has been closely associated for more than a half-century, are parting ways after Paramount declined earlier this month to renew its deal with Robert Evans Productions.
The production shingle, which was created in 1974 after Evans stepped away from running the studio to focus on producing, has been based on the Melrose Avenue lot. Overhead provided by the studio covered the employment of Evans and, until recently, at least two others, Jay Sikura, head of development, and Michael Alfred, an executive assistant.
Still, the move surprised some in Evans' orbit, who were of the understanding that Sumner Redstone, the controlling shareholder of Paramount's parent company Viacom, had promised Evans that his studio contract and office would remain for life, in appreciation for Evans' contributions to the studio. , "Paramount wanted me to remake my 1997 movie— there are other pictures that I want to do — so they decided not to extend my deal. I understand that and have no hard feelings.
