Paul Newman

This audio presentation is vastly entertaining in a cool and gentle way. Author and film critic Shawn Levy provides a behind-the-scenes examination of the ruggedly handsome stage and film actor Paul Newman. Marc Cashman delivers the details of Newman's life, adventures, and creative achievements with a vocal steadiness and warmth. There are no attempts at characterization or accents. Cashman's pace is steady, intelligent, and, at times, suggestive of pure mischief--much like Paul Newman himself. Cashman's narrative style succeeds in presenting an intriguing portrait of a beautiful and talented man who seems to have fully enjoyed his life, his enduring marriage to Joanne Woodward, his children, and his causes.
