The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man

The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man

by Paul Newman

We think we knew Paul Newman. We have been mesmerized by him, by those eyes, by the ease, the mystery—the definition of cool. Of course, we know celebrities are not their characters but still we are seduced. In this book, we are seduced in an entirely new way. These are transcripts of Paul talking—as an insecure actor, as a man overcoming difficult parents, as a man utterly in love, as a man detached, but ultimately, as a man of vulnerability and kindness. This is not the Paul Newman we thought we knew but it is the Paul Newman that we will love meeting.
