Paul Newman: A Life ReviewI received this book as a gift, after wanting to read about Paul Newman for a long time. I greatly admire Paul Newman, not only for his acting, but for the humanitarian work he does through Newman's products. However, this book is just plain awful. I've read many movie star biographies (and autobiographies), and this is the worst, by far. The author is clearly biased against Joanne Woodward, and makes catty remarks about her throughout the entire book. He doesn't state his sources, and it seems like most of the quoted statements are negative (for Paul AND Joanne). I have a feeling that the author is one that simply cranks out star biographies for the buck, writing with a preconceived notion of his subject, not taking the time or effort to really investigate. It's also very badly written. This book is garbage and I can't even bring myself to finish it. Time to find another biography of Newman to read - hopefully there is a better one out there!Paul Newman: A Life OverviewA racy leading man, a devoted husband and father, an American icon. Any of these would describe Hollywood legend Paul Newman. Almost everyone the world over knows the public story of America's heartthrob, but few know what really went on beyond the silver screen-until now. Quirk's book chronicles how Newman, armed with his astonishing good looks and what his acting teacher called "magnetic presence," rushed into acting and marriage to get away from his father's disapproving eye. As Quirk deftly unveils, however, Newman was unprepared to settle down, and the vows of marriage only served to ward off rumors of his suspected homosexuality. Quirk details Newman's rocky marriage, the joyful birth of his first child, and his first acting breaks on Broadway where he met his second wife, Joanne Woodward.
