With his long-awaited memoir out now, we’re looking back on the actor's life in photos. They sure don’t make movie stars like this anymore
After six decades of Hollywood superstardom, it’s difficult to imagine that anything could remain unknown about Paul Newman. But that’s the particular magic trick of, a new memoir published nearly fourteen years after the actor’s death. Assembled by way of a literary scavenger hunt, the book, out now, is an extraordinary act of resurrection and reimagination.
Between 1986 and 1991, Newman sat down with screenwriter Stewart Stern for a series of soul-baring interviews about his life and career. With the actor’s encouragement, Stern also recorded hundreds of hours worth of interviews with his friends, family, and colleagues. The whole enterprise was destined to become Newman’s authorised biography, but his feelings on the project soured; in 1998, he gathered the tapes in a pile and set fire to them.
The book reveals an honest and unvarnished portrait of the man behind those famous baby blues. For the first time, Newman speaks openly about his traumatic childhood, his lifelong struggle with alcoholism, and his tormenting self-doubt. But the highs are there too—like his 50-year marriage to actress Joanne Woodward—as well as the mysteries of making art, and the “imponderable of being a human being.” To celebrate the release of, we’re looking back on the actor's life in photos.
