If the rest of us can't aspire to having Newman's life, we can at least take inspiration from the way he lived his..." "An illuminating look at one of the true greats, full of humor and intelligent analysis--highly recommended." (starred review) "Ultimately, the author reveals how Newman was able to blend his many components and become a man of great integrity who was successful at almost everything he tried..." AnnotationWhile many of his Hollywood colleagues became as well-known for their idiosyncrasies or their infidelities as they were for their acting, Paul Newman's superstar status was virtually untouched by scandal. When he augmented his legacy by founding one of the most profitable and generous business ventures of all-time, there were very few people unwilling to testify to his sainthood. With Shawn Levy's biography, the first since Newman's death in 2008, the heavenly legacy of the onscreen legend who embodied the charismatic rebelliousness of characters such as Butch Cassidy, "Fast Eddie" Felson, and "Cool Hand" Luke remains remarkably intact. Levy does not shy away from documenting Newman's shortcomings, which did indeed include a few illicit love affairs as well as the intermittent emotional distance he maintained with his children. But the accumulated weight of Newman's professional benevolence tips the scales away from any personal defects. Everyone who loved Paul Newman as an actor, a race car driver, a philanthropist, and an icon will find even more to love in this glowing retrospective of an exemplary life.
