Screen legend, super star, and the man with the most famous blue
eyes in movie history, Paul Newman was born in 1925 in Cleveland,
Ohio, the son of a successful sporting goods store owner. He acted
in grade school and high school plays and after being disharged
from the navy in 1946 he enrolled at Kenyon College. After
graduation he spent a year at the Yale Drama School and then headed
to New York where he attended the famed New York Actors Studio.
Classically handsome and with a super abundance of sex appeal,
television parts came easily to Paul and after his first broadway
appearance in Picnic (1953) he was offered a film contract by
Warner Brothers. His first film _Silver Chalice, The (1954)_ (qv)
was nearly his last. He considered his performance in this costume
epic to be so bad that he took out a full page ad in a trade paper
apologizing for it to movie goers. He fared much better in his next
effort, _Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956)_ (qv) in which he
portrayed boxer Rocky Graziano and drew raves from the critics for
his briliant performance. He went on to become one of the top box
office draws of the 1960s starring in such superior films as
_Hustler, The (1961)_ (qv); 0057426; _Hud (1963)_ (qv); 0061512;
and _Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)_ (qv). He also
produced and directed many quality films including _Rachel, Rachel
(1968)_ ...[MORE]
