I met him back in the 70's at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut. Newman was an avid racer and competed against my uncle.You serious,you got to meet Paul Newman,how did you pull that off.
My cousin and I (I was, maybe, 12, my cousin 8) approached him as he was walking through the paddock area. My little 12 year old brain decided the best question to ask him was "Are you really Paul Newman?" He replied, "No, I'm his twin brother."
He chuckled at our bewildered expressions, put out his hand to shake ours and said "Yes, I'm really Paul Newman."
All I know was that he was really nice to two little kids, and he certainly didn't have to be.
He wouldn't do autographs, though...
