Paul Newman the man behind the baby blues : his secret life exposed : another hot, startling, and unauthorized celebrity biography

ONE WONDERS HOW PAUL NEWMAN EVER MANAGED TO AVOID PUBLIC SCRUTINY FOR SO LONG. A pioneering and posthumous biography of a charismatic icon of Tinseltown drawn from firsthand interviews with insiders who knew Paul Newman intimately, and compiled over a period of nearly a half-century, this is the world's most honest and most revelatory biography about Hollywood's pre-eminent male sex symbol, with dozens of potentially shocking revelations. Paul Newman's rule over the hearts of American moviegoers lasted for more than half a century. This famous American actor evolved into a potent, desirable, and ambiguous sex symbol. A former sailor from Shaker Heights, Ohio, he parlayed his ambisexual charm and extraordinary good looks into one of the most successful careers in Hollywood. It's all here, as recorded by celebrity chronicler Darwin Porter--the giddy heights and agonizing lows of a great American star. Whereas the situations it exposes were widely known within Hollywood's inner circles, they've never before been revealed to the general public. If you're a fan of Newman (and who do you know who isn't?) you really should look at this book. It's a respectful but candid cornucopia of information about Paul Newman, with rare insights into the sexual and emotional adventures of a young man on Broadway and in Hollywood.
