Hooray for Hollywood — The Movies of Paul Newman

Lecture Hooray for Hollywood The Movies of Paul Newman Part One 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.
