Will No. 7 Be The Charm For Robert Evans?

1 minute read

ROBERT EVANS likes to keep romance in the picture, if in unconventional ways. At 75, the bronzed, basso-voiced producer of Chinatown proposed to his seventh bride, socialite and twice-married mother of three LADY VICTORIA WHITE, 42, by presenting her with a black-and-white photograph of her and her first, now deceased, husband. Evans pasted an image of his head on the man’s body so that his fiancé “can have us both by her bedside at night,” he says. After meeting White last November at a screening for the 30th anniversary of Chinatown, Evans married her last week in Mexico. “She’s the only girl I’ve ever married who’s not an actress or an aspiring actress, and you have no idea what a pleasure that is,” says the man whose life story, including prior nuptials to starlets Ali MacGraw and Catherine Oxenberg, has inspired a film and a cartoon. “I wasn’t impulsive this time,” says Evans. “I waited over six months.” Evans has just finished his second memoir, The Fat Lady Sang. In wife No.7, he says, “I finally found the last chapter.”
