Not too many genuinely talented and charismatic movie stars like Paul Newman are left. Tom Cruise could be one but for his crazy cult beliefs.

You have to give kudos to a Hollywood couple who stayed married for 50 years, despite flaws and difficulties.

Nothing like trashing the dead…they can’t come back at you to defend themselves.

Paul Newman has passed on. So he is no longer able to defend himself from accusations, both great and small. I’m all for second-guessing historical figures like Caesar and Lincoln. Otherwise let sleeping dogs lie, so to speak.

“genuinely talented and charismatic movie stars.. Tom Cruise could be one but for his crazy cult beliefs.”

Because of beliefs his talent and charisma don’t measure up. Or are not genuine. You must be sensing some kind of weird connections that don’t exist.

No cult stuff but I’ve got some crazy notions. How about you?

Paul Newman was a really fine race car driver. Sure he had the money to field the best cars but his skill behind the wheel was fun to see.

“...Joanne Woodward once found him lying insensible on the floor, his head bleeding after falling out of bed.”

Just like “the great Henry Gondorf.”

Who drinks a six pack of beer for breakfast? A bottle of chardonnay seems more like a breakfast beverage. Wine coolers are good for a hangover.

Given this was a man who would drink a six-pack of beer at breakfast,

With 50 eggs?

Newman did a lot for kids- - he had a camp for sick kids- hole in the wall ranch or something like that

“The Double H Ranch, co-founded by Charles R. Wood and Paul Newman, provides specialized programs and year-round support for children and their families dealing with life-threatening illnesses. Our purpose is to enrich their lives and provide camp experiences that are memorable, exciting, fun, empowering, physically safe and medically sound. All programs are FREE of charge and capture the magic of the Adirondacks”

Tom Cruise is #1 right now. He’s crazy but he knows what his audience likes. There’s nothing woke about Top Gun: Maverick. Credit’s where it’s due.

Proof yet again that there is no species of mammal that displays sexual dimorphism of size (and the male is the larger) that is naturally monogamous.

I saw him and Joanne Woodward walking up Madison Avenue one day an early Sunday morning would have been 1984. He was attentive to her and he was thin and fit. No way was he drinking like that

My friend was a self described “wine babe”, a now successful then out of work theater person working at a fabulous restaurant in NYC in I think 1992. The Newman would come in. They were personable. She asked if he could speak with the chef. They were great to be around. They loved each other. I saw it that day on Mad Ave

If he were an out of control alcoholic he would act differently. He would have a beer belly. He did not

This is a hit piece. An untruthful hit piece ina great American icon

Do not buy it.

I’m willing to cut a lot of slack for someone who is a skydiver, flies his own P51 and L39 and does almost all of his own stunt work.

I thought Paul Newman was still alive and Joanne Woodward was long dead...instead, it’s the opposite.
