PAUL NEWMAN
The Man Behind the Baby Blues:  His Secret Life Exposed
Darwin Porter

 

This is a pioneering and posthumous biography of a charismatic icon of Tinseltown whose rule over the hearts of American moviegoers lasted for more than half a century. It’s loaded with never-before-published revelations that look behind the innocent-looking baby blues that enthralled the movie-going public. He became one of the most potent, desirable, and ambiguous sex symbols in America, a former sailor from Ohio, who parlayed his ambisexual charm and extraordinary good looks into one of the most successful careers in Hollywood. It’s all here, as recorded by celebrity chronicler Darwin Porter – the dirt and the glory, the bad and the beautiful, the giddy highs and the agonising lows of a great American star.
