We also discuss Newman's feelings of guilt, particularly concerning his first marriage to Jackie Witte and the overlap between that relationship and his subsequent marriage to Woodward. Drawing from a revealing biography and Newman's own words, we explore how this guilt affected him throughout his life.
Adding another layer to the story, we discuss a recently published posthumous memoir that Newman initiated but later abandoned. Edited by David Rosenthal and based on interviews with Newman and those close to him, the memoir provides a fresh perspective on Newman's life, revealing a man filled with inner turmoil and self-doubt.
Finally, we delve into a documentary that reveals Newman's darker side, including his struggles with alcoholism and fidelity. Despite these challenges, Newman and Woodward's relationship endured for over 50 years, until Newman's death from lung cancer in 2008 at the age of 83.
This video aims to provide a comprehensive look at Paul Newman, not just as a Hollywood icon but as a deeply flawed yet fundamentally decent man.
