“An 8 ball? Ha ha! No.
8 balls are for girl scouts. If you wanna roll with me, kid, you’d better bring a ball.

Robert Evans
Producer, actor, cokehead.
June 29, 1930 – October 26, 2019.
Aged 89 years.

Most recognized for: After transitioning from 3rd rate actor to an aggressive movie producer, he was appointed head of Paramount in the late 60’s… and by shifting the floundering studio’s focus from commercial to original, he brought us “Rosemary’s Baby,” “Chinatown,” and the first 2 “The Godfather” movies.  The rest of Cokey McSnortFukk’s career is beautifully summed up by this Patton Oswalt bit.
