He was a mediocre student and early on in his career sold encyclopedias for a living. Unsure of what he wanted to do with his life, he joined the navy during World War II but returned to his love for acting which was instilled in him by his mother. Initially landing Broadway roles, he later moved to Hollywood where his life changed. During his career, he was an 8-time Oscar nominee, a generous philanthropist, a highly successful entrepreneur and an unpretentious man who was absolutely devoted to his family and the craft of acting. Today, we know him as Paul Newman and this is his story.
Anyone who watched him act would be captivated by the authenticity of his performances. And yet he did not have an ounce of conceit in him. People loved and admired him for his rigor and discipline. However, his success was not without challenges. He was diagnosed with colorblindness early on in life, had to leave his first wife when he fell in love with Joanne Woodward, and lost his only son, Scott Newman, to drug overdose.
His story is that of perseverance and triumph against all odds. During his lifetime, he won many awards and, in 1987, won the Oscar for his performance in The Color of Money. And still, nothing seemed to slow him down. Come and find out who this larger than life persona was.
Here’s a preview of what you’ll discover in this book:
-
Paul Newman’s early childhood, family life, and education
-
His journey to Yale University and life there
-
Landing his early roles as a theatre actor
-
Moving to Hollywood and rise as a method actor

Personalities like that of Paul Newman are but far and few. He was genuinely committed to whatever it was that he undertook in life. His story is that of grit and determination and a reminder to everyone that no matter how tough life gets, you have to keep moving forward. He initially founded Newman’s Own as an attempt to make a better salad dressing. The company became a stellar success as a food business and to this day donates 100% of its profits to charity. This book will enlighten you with the dazzling splendour of a man that he was, and how he defied every mishap and tragedy to do his best work and live life to the fullest.
