Robert Jamison
Mick Riva is a pop star and Evelyn’s third husband. Mick makes his attraction to Evelyn public by expressing his desire to marry her during interviews, suggesting he’s an extremely confident man who can imagine Evelyn reciprocating his interest. When Evelyn decides to elope with Mick to grab media attention, she understands that he’s an ego-driven man who wants to always have the upper hand. Mick’s preoccupation with glamour and physical beauty becomes even clearer the night after his elopement with Evelyn when, after a night of deliberately lackluster sex on her part, he immediately tires of her and suggests an annulment.

Quotes

Maybe I’m overthinking that photo, but I’m starting to notice a pattern: Evelyn always leaves you hoping you’ll get just a little bit more. And she always denies you.
