"Who doesn't know Paul Newman? The man with the beautiful blue
eyes, the chiselled face and body, the 50-plus years of memorable
acting and directing roles, the awards, the movie-star marriage.
Well, it turns out, there is lots more to know." - Parade Magazine
"Newman's preternaturally piercing baby blue eyes shine through in
every picture, and he was well aware of how his fame rested on the
colour of his irises." - Peter Sheridan, Daily Express "Hollywood
Hunk Paul Newman as you've never seen him before." - Yahoo! News
"Paired with raw and unvarnished commentary from the photographers
themselves, Newman's incomparable authenticity and appealing
persona bleed through each page." - Newsweek Once, when asked how
he'd like to be remembered, Paul Newman replied: "I'd like to be
remembered as a guy who tried. Tried to be part of his times, tried
to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some
decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being."
As an actor who became a film star, Newman repeatedly tapped into
his times and in doing so redefined what movie stardom could be.
Newman was a new kind of movie star, bringing a particular
authenticity, intensity and sensitivity to his performances.
Throughout his career, Newman was extensively photographed: these
images enriched film audiences' connection to him as a cool and
graceful presence both on and off-screen. Milton Greene, Douglas
Kirkland, Lawrence Fried, Terry O'Neill, Al Satterwhite and Eva
Sereny are amongst the photographers who worked with Newman on and
off-set across his career. From early stage work with his wife,
Joanne Woodward, to his love of racing cars, to the essential 1980s
drama Absence of Malice to the great success of the new western
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and the cult favourites, Pocket
Money and The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, Newman's movies
were an essential part of American culture. With comment and
contributions from the photographers, Paul Newman: Blue Eyed Cool,
gathers together portraits, stage, racing and on-set photography -
including never before seen images - in a celebration of an actor
who was always... cool. Paul Newman: Blue Eyed Cool is a must-have
for fans who see in Newman's work and in his life a true hero.
