To start a company like Newman’s own, and give all the profits to charity when most people these days would just amass more and more wealth for themselves, and then flaunt it… yes. You’re right; he is truly one of a kind… a shining example of a human being.

[@cshubs]

My brother's friend Joanne has a good story. When she was about 13, she went to a horse camp in CT. While there, she befriended Paul's daughter. One day, Joanne fell off a horse near the fence. A hand came through to help her up. It was Paul Newman. She stood and dusted herself off and noticed his friend behind him-- Robert Redford! This was the early 70s, so both of the were in their prime. That eve, they went to dinner. Joanne got in the backseat of Paul's car, an old Beetle. She rode in this little car with Paul Newman and Robert Redford in the front seat and Paul's daughter next to her. They got to the restaurant and were treated like royalty.

[@SteveSmartPoetryandMusic]

For the record, and I'm happy to debate this, this is the oldest I've ever seen Paul Newman look. What interests me most is the moment where he said he would dump movies for racing if he could, and he looks so sad, so wistful. Turns out Hollywood wasn't prepared to lose Newman and he got to live both lives, actor-director and racer, and looked younger and happier for it for the rest of his long days. So happy that incredible life force prevailed.

Like Steve McQueen, Newman's love for motorsport was passionate. He knew he came to racing too late to compete at an elite level, but he raced where he could and did quite well. And he really injected himself into Indy/CART with Newman/Haas Racing, a wildly successful open wheel outfit. I'm sure that Paul would have happily made the jump to Formula One as well. Where the pinnacle of auto-engineering meets art.

[@garyk.nedrow8302]

Notwithstanding his erudition and many awards, Cavett has an unfortunate habit of cutting off responses and not allowing the guest to speak freely, which turns the interview into a disjointed mish-mash of topics that go nowhere. Newman was one of the more intelligent actors of his time, thoughtful and well read -- but you wouldn't know it from this clip. Cavett missed an opportunity to explore that side of Newman, and he opted for the frivolous.

Big head Newman.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Not unusual for an actor, since the camera adds weight they tend to keep themselves lean, costume designer Edith Head said Newman & Redford were both athletes with no excess. Difference with Newman is that big head always resembled in profile something only found on a Roman coin. Famous for his daily sit-up regimen, Newman was chiseled before it was a thing, check him in The Prize wearing only a towel. His family called him Ol' Skinny Legs, that skull may have been biggest thing on him!

Maybe because "Harvey Weinstein situation" didn't exist, huh Raymond? Newman was probably speaking from his own experience, he was considered sexiest man alive @ the time, so even if he had no experience with casting couch he was still wearing a pretty big bullseye. You have no experience with aggressive women? It happens!

[@clintonsmith5163]

I believe that Newman was alluding to the possibility that the "casting couch" problem was "better" in the 1970s than it had been in the early decades of Hollywood when producers, directors, agents, etc. were notoriously abusive. Whether it was, in fact, better I cannot say. However, I have no doubt that Newman would know better than you or me.
