Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Newman--actor, director, entrepreneur, race car driver, political activist, and family man--is such an intriguing character that there have been a multitude of books and magazine articles about him. This one, simply written and not bad to read adds no new information or insight to the already existing works. The author starts out with a quick laundry list of Newman's achievements and then goes on to discuss fairly yet sympathetically every film, TV, play, or other project that the actor was involved in, while weaving in standard biographical fare. Not recommended for purchase unless you are the site for the Paul Newman fan club. Literary Guild selection.
