Bücher von Paul Newman

The raw, candid, unvarnished memoir of an American icon.In 2008, Paul Newman tasked his best friend with interviewing the people who had shaped his life, in order to create an oral history of it. After hearing and reading what they had to say, Newman dictated his own version. Now, this long-lost memoir will be published. Full of wonderful stories and recollections by his family, friends, and such luminaries as Elia Kazan, Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill and Martin Ritt, this book will surprise and shock readers as it reveals Newman's previously unknown sides.In this extraordinary memoir, Newman details his fascinating story: from troubled beginnings, marked by fraught relationships with both his mother and father, to the iconic film roles (both good and bad) that cemented his status as a Hollywood icon and heartthrob, and the complicated relationships that were formed along the way.

Der beeindruckende Lebensbericht Paul Newmans basiert auf einem Sensationsfund von mehr als 80 Stunden Tonaufnahmen, die er - teils in Interviewform, teils als Monolog - aufzeichnete und die erstmals von der Familie freigegeben wurden. Er beschreibt eindrücklich seine Entwicklung von einem unsicheren jungen Mann, der neidisch ist auf andere männliche Stars seiner Zeit wie Marlon Brando und James Dean und sich scheut in eine Kamera zu sprechen, über einen aufstrebenden Hollywood-Newcomer, bis hin zu der Legende Paul Newman, als die wir ihn erinnern. Er hadert darin auch mit seiner Rolle als Symbol für Männlichkeit und Sexyness, ein Hadern, das in der Kindheit angelegt wurde. Newman hatte zeitlebens das Gefühl seine Mutter liebe ihn nur, weil er ein schönes und vorzeigbares Kind sei. Er erzählt von größtem Hollywood-Glamour, aber auch von den Abgründen, die damit einhergehen. Offen und ehrlich schaut Newman auf sein Leben zurück, auf seine gescheiterte Ehe, sein Alkoholproblem, den traumatisierenden Tod seines Sohnes, aber auch auf seine großen Erfolge, filmisch, philanthropisch und persönlich. Erfrischend direkt, ehrlich und schnörkellos.

For years, Paul Newman and his longtime buddy A. E. Hotchner filled old wine bottles with their homemade salad dressing to give to friends as Christmas gifts. Reasoning that what was good enough for their pals was good enough for the public, they formed Newman's Own to sell the dressing. Their entrepreneurial adventure was a smashing success; to date, Newman's Own products have generated more than $100 million in after-tax profits, all of which have been donated to charitable and educational causes.In that same generous spirit, Newman, Hotchner, their families, and friends now share more than 125 of their favorite recipes with you. From simple to sophisticated, these dishes are imaginative and delicious, and while some use Newman's Own products, you can substitute your favorite brand of salsa, salad dressing, or spaghetti sauce without a problem. Some dishes are Newman household favorites, like The Newmanburger, Joanne's Cereal, and Nell Newman's Cauliflower and Parmesan Soup with Essence of Lemon. Some are contributions from friends, like Robert Redford's Lamb Chili with Black Beans, Julia Roberts's Fresh Peach Crisp, Matthew Broderick's Grilled T-bone Steak with Sweet Onion Marmalade and Campfire Mustard Sauce, and Whoopi Goldberg's Big Bad Ass Beef Ribs. There are winners from the Newman's Own/Good Housekeeping recipe contest, Sundance's Salsa Steak in a Sack, Towering Inferno Creole Posole, Paul's Picture Show Popcorn Crunch, and Sockarooni Orange Kiss-Me Cake among them.Illustrated with wonderfully candid photographs and illuminated by Newman's own trenchant observations, Newman's Own Cookbook is a treat for the eye and the palate.
