Paul Newman: The most beautiful love story
Generations considered Paul Newman the most beautiful man to ever stand in front of a camera, but for him there was only one women
Generations considered Paul Newman the most beautiful man to ever stand in front of a camera, and thousands of women fell to their knees in front of him. For him, however, from the moment he saw her, there was only one woman. Although it is well known that long marriages are rare in Hollywood, especially among the biggest stars, the love of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward is an exception that is often mentioned as an example of true marital happiness.
The couple spent decades together, and even in their later years, they looked crazy in love.
-“ I once asked the driver who his favorite client was, and he immediately said: "Paul Newman was very nice. He asked me about my life, and with him was his wife Joanne. The guy was 80 years old and he was kissing her all the time. He would hug her, they kissed and giggled. Unbelievable!" Ansel Elgort recalled on one occasion.
The famous actor and actress met in New York when they entered the trailer of a film agent to escape the summer heat. As they later admitted, not both of them were fascinated after that first meeting: Joanne thought Paul was just another beauty, while he was stunned by her, he thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world. The actor once pointed out that he was quite conservative and that it took him a while to convince Joanne that he was not as boring as he seemed at first glance. They soon began collaborating on a Broadway show and became even closer, but there was one problem: Paul Newman was married to Jackie Witte, with whom he had three children.
The actors controlled their emotions until the movie "The Long, Hot Summer" reunited them. Simply - they could no longer restrain the chemistry that reigned between them. Woodward allegedly did not want to be responsible for Newman's divorce, but Jackie Witte was aware that there was no way to save the marriage, so Paul and she divorced in 1957. Only a few months later, the actor married a beautiful colleague.
Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward had three daughters, with whom they lived on a property in Connecticut. They enjoyed their privacy, love, and - laughter.
- “He is very beautiful, but what is important to you is that person makes you laugh every day. And he really makes me laugh” - the actress said on one occasion, while Newman pointed out that their happiness is due to a combination of several things: lust, respect, patience, and perseverance.
- Before the actor's death in 2008, the couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, and they reportedly looked in love as teenagers in their later years. On one occasion, they were met by the writer Carol Joynt, who described that moment this way: “Joanne Woodward was sitting on the grass, leaning against a tree, while Paul Newman was lying with his head on her lap. He would occasionally touch her hair and face". She said that was the most romantic moment ever.
