Paul Newman Bücher

Der beeindruckende Lebensbericht Paul Newmans basiert auf einem Sensationsfund von mehr als 80 Stunden Tonaufnahmen, die er - teils in Interviewform, teils als Monolog - aufzeichnete und die erstmals von der Familie freigegeben wurden. Er beschreibt eindrücklich seine Entwicklung von einem unsicheren jungen Mann, der neidisch ist auf andere männliche Stars seiner Zeit wie Marlon Brando und James Dean und sich scheut in eine Kamera zu sprechen, über einen aufstrebenden Hollywood-Newcomer, bis hin zu der Legende Paul Newman, als die wir ihn erinnern. Er hadert darin auch mit seiner Rolle als Symbol für Männlichkeit und Sexyness, ein Hadern, das in der Kindheit angelegt wurde. Newman hatte zeitlebens das Gefühl seine Mutter liebe ihn nur, weil er ein schönes und vorzeigbares Kind sei. Er erzählt von größtem Hollywood-Glamour, aber auch von den Abgründen, die damit einhergehen. Offen und ehrlich schaut Newman auf sein Leben zurück, auf seine gescheiterte Ehe, sein Alkoholproblem, den traumatisierenden Tod seines Sohnes, aber auch auf seine großen Erfolge, filmisch, philanthropisch und persönlich. Erfrischend direkt, ehrlich und schnörkellos.

The raw, candid, unvarnished memoir of an American icon. In 2008, Paul Newman tasked his best friend with interviewing the people who had shaped his life, in order to create an oral history of it. After hearing and reading what they had to say, Newman dictated his own version. Now, this long-lost memoir will be published. Full of wonderful stories and recollections by his family, friends, and such luminaries as Elia Kazan, Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill and Martin Ritt, this book will surprise and shock readers as it reveals Newman's previously unknown sides. In this extraordinary memoir, Newman details his fascinating story: from troubled beginnings, marked by fraught relationships with both his mother and father, to the iconic film roles (both good and bad) that cemented his status as a Hollywood icon and heartthrob, and the complicated relationships that were formed along the way.
