detailed bio

A detailed bio of Paul Newman and his movies. I would have liked to have known more about his life before he got into the movies more. Great book if you are a fan of his movies and of him. Hila

Not the usual fan biography

Quirk, the author of more than 20 film-star biographies, reveals a Newman that might be unfamiliar to his adoring fans. Book reveals something of Newman's dark side and takes a sharp look at his acting as well. Hard-hitting and not written for members of Newman's cult following. A must-have for the Newman completist.
