How to get into Paul Newman's pants...

From the NY Daily News:
"NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A man renting an apartment in a Victorian house in Connecticut was poking around the basement when he was surprised to find some fine clothes stuffed in a trash bag. A tailor’s tag listing the client’s name on one of the suits startled him even more.
“Paul Newman. January 1986.”
Peter Gamlen, a 23-year-old British illustrator, said he believes the suit belonged to the late actor, director, entrepreneur and racing driver. The suit was by the tailor Henry Stewart. So, Gamlen researched Stewart and found an obituary in the New York Times from 1993 that listed Newman among the tailor’s clients."

Who owns da Chiefs?

As they say, art imitates life: the Johnstown Chiefs (of Slapshot fame) are truly moving south to warmer climes this time!

Paul Newman: A Life review


Paul Newman: A Life

Finally got a chance to read Shawn Levy's bio of PLN released earlier this year. Not too bad, he keeps it pretty polite, he does discuss the affair story from the BC&SK days but doesn't do it sensationally and basically discredits the woman as a tramp anyway. It's a comprehensive look at Paul's life, career(s) and philanthropic pursuits. Overall a nice tribute. Not much new information or revelations, but a few nuggets that I hadn't read or heard of before.
