Created with the approval of Paul Newman, this elegant work draws together hundreds of rare and never-before-seen photographs.

With a detailed biography and images ranging from family photos to the work of prestigious photographers, this is the must-have collection for Newman's legions of fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hundreds of Pictures Illustrating a Life Well Lived, December 5, 2006
Paul Newman has made just about one film for every one of his 80 years. He has played in everything from westerns (Hud, Hombre), to crime (Drowning Pool, Sting), sports (Slap Shot, Winning), war (Harry Frigg, Until They Sail). And in this book there are hundreds of pictures, many of them from the sets of the movies that were being made. Many other pictures come from what have to be private collections of either the Newmans or their friends.

This is basically only a picture book. There's a short biography at the beginning, but it's the pictures that are the feature. Most of the book goes back in time, and the pictures are in black and white. In the last half, the pictures get more current and an increasing number of them are in color. All in all, a fascinating collection of pictures.

I was particularly impressed with the pictures of he and Joanne Woodward. They were married in 1958, and in the pictures from then until now the tenderness, the love, the companionship they have come through in the pictures better than anything anyone could have written.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Life In Pictures, January 11, 2007
What a wonderful book for admirers of this phenomenal man. He is so beautiful still to this day, and this book brings it forth so wonderfully.
The pictures are so tastefully done. You really get to know Paul Newman in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gift of Paul Newman, January 15, 2007
The book was a Christmas gift for my mother who is 80 years old and a life-long Paul Newman fan. The photographs take her on a journey both past and present. She tells me often how much she is enjoying the book.
