Bücher von Paul Newman

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.

Shameless exploitation has never been more fun nor done more good for more people than when done by Newman's Own—the first green food company to use all-natural ingredients, and still the most successful. It was 1982 when Paul Newman and A. E. Hotchner made their foray into local gourmet shops with bottles of their homemade salad dressing. The venture was intended to be a lark, a way to poke fun at the traditional way the market operates. Hurdling obstacle after obstacle, they created the first company to mass-market all-natural products, eliminating the chemicals, gums, and preservatives that existed in food at the time. This picaresque saga is the inspiring story of how the two friends parlayed the joke into a multimillion-dollar company that gives all its profits to the less fortunate without spending money on galas, mailings, and other expensive outreaches. It also serves as a textbook for foundations and charitable organizations looking to do the most good they can with what they have.Told in alternating voices, Newman and Hotchner have written a zany tale that is a business model for entrepreneurs, an inspirational book, and just plain delightful reading.

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.
