Paul Newman by A.E. Hotchner

November 6, 2019

One of the most enjoyable books in my collection is Paul and Me, by A.E. Hotchner. The subtitle is: 53 Years of Adventures and Misadventures With My Pal Paul Newman. These two guys were neighbors, but had known each other since they worked together on a television project in the 1950s. That experience cemented their … More Paul Newman by A.E. Hotchner

Hud and Hombre (Paul Newman)

August 9, 2019

Top Five Film Stars of the 1970s

August 9, 2015

Redford, McQueen, Newman, Reynolds and Streisand. The top five money-making stars of the decade, according to several sources. I would have substituted Clint Eastwood for McQueen, Warren Beatty for Newman, and Jack Nicholson for Streisand, but we’ll go with the money list. All were stars in the prior decade but Burt Reynolds and Robert Redford … More Top Five Film Stars of the 1970s
