A rare solid Hollywood marriage

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Paul Newman is remembered as an iconic sex symbol, but apparently never truly felt like one until he met Joanne Woodward.
The book also describes Newman’s humble beginnings, his insecurities growing up and rise to sex-symbol status. He was raised in Shaker Heights, Ohio, where he was too small to play on the school football team without special permission and awkward around girls.
The admission comes from the actor’s forthcoming posthumous memoir, “The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man” (Knopf, Oct. 18). The book is based on interviews with friends and family and Newman himself over the span of five years in the mid-’80s.
Newman describes moments as newlyweds, including one evening in their Beverly Hills home after they got married. He notes that Woodward had fixed up one room with a “thrift shop double bed,” which was declared the “F – – k Hut” by Woodward.

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward had a ‘F–k Hut’ where they’d get ‘intimate, noisy and ribald’: New book

“We left a trail of lust all over the place. Hotels and public parks and Hertz Rent-A-Cars,” Newman writes in his posthumous memoir.

Unfortunately, these people are from the age of humans in Hollywood. Which is a rare thing in itself.

There were many couples that were married for a very long time back then.

Nothing like the scum and filth of today.

I haven't seen a new movie since 1996. Done watching movies until they tear Whorelywood down and rebuild it with some substance and some values.
