Krátky popis
The raw, candid, unvarnished memoir of an icon. The greatest movie
star of the past 75 years covers everything: his traumatic
childhood, his career, his drinking, his thoughts on Marlon Brando,
James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, his greatest roles, acting, his
intimate life with Joanne Woodward, his innermost fears and
passions and joys. With thoughts/comments throughout from Joanne
Woodward, Tom Cruise and many others. As seen in The Last Movie
Stars documentary. In 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend,
screenwriter Stewart Stern, began an extraordinary project. Stuart
was to compile an oral history, to have Newman's family and friends
and those who worked closely with him, talk about the actor's life.
And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of the
story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record
had to be completely honest. That same stipulation applied to
Newman himself. The project lasted five years. The result is an
extraordinary memoir, culled from thousands of pages of
transcripts. The book is insightful, revealing, surprising.
Newman's voice is powerful, sometimes funny, sometimes painful,
always meeting that high standard of searing honesty. The
additional voices - from childhood friends and Navy buddies, from
family members and film and theater collaborators such as Tom
Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt, and John Huston - that run
throughout add richness and color and context to the story Newman
is telling. Newman's often traumatic childhood is brilliantly
detailed. He talks about his teenage insecurities, his early
failures with women, his rise to stardom, his early rivals (Brando
and Dean), his first marriage, his drinking, his philanthropy, the
death of his son Scott, his strong desire for his daughters to know
and understand the truth about their father. Perhaps the most
moving material in the book centers around his relationship with
Joanne Woodward - their love for each other, his dependence on her,
the way she shaped him intellectually, emotionally and sexually.
THE EXTRAORDINARY LIFE OF AN ORDINARY MAN is revelatory and
introspective, personal and analytical, loving and tender in some
places, always complex and profound.
