Lecture
Hooray for Hollywood The Movies of Paul Newman
Part Two
Rick Harris, lecturer
Beyond those magnetic blue eyes and a face sculpted for cinema, actor Paul Newman made dozens of splendid films working with distinguished directors from Martin Scorsese and Sidney Lumet to George Roy Hill, and co-stars, from Elizabeth Taylor to Robert Redford, his partner in celebrated classics like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting. Whatever role he played, whether it was Luke Jackson in Cool Hand Luke, Reggie Dunlop in Slap Shot or the role of husband, entrepreneur or philanthropist, Newman redefined what it means to be a leading man in Tinseltown and beyond. Watch a callow youth become his generation’s greatest male actor.
This presentation is part of Rick Harris' Hooray for Hollywood series.
