what we got here it's a failure to communicate he knew exactly what he wanted to do I don't want to be August lon you want a piece of him Wow Paul is a class act oh my god you are some beautiful he's a totally unpretentious person never say never he'd love to have fun 500 bucks says she choked right now you think this boy is a hustler Michael open your eyes this is the life we chose the life we lead and there is only one guarantee none of us will see him in a continuing career that has lasted over half a century Paul Newman has defined a new kind of American hero tough confident and charming are you putting me on I don't think so often he played loners whose morality forced them outside the system and the law - Arriba they got enough why you're so damn smart you read it roles that stood in sharp contrast to the actor's stunning looks and clear blue eyes well now you correct me if I'm wrong but I have the feeling I ride you I mean me being so mean and dirty at all he's the kind of person who appreciates and craves a challenge and really only appreciates what he's able to accomplish with hard work off-screen Newman has become equally famous as an entrepreneur a race car driver a political activist and one of America's leading philanthropists whose image has come to represent both quality and integrity he's very giving he's very gracious he's a very generous man Paul Newman was born on january 26 1925 the second son of Arthur and Teresa Newman Paul grew up in a comfortable suburb of Shaker Heights in Cleveland Ohio Shaker Heights was a great place for a kid to grow up there were big estate type homes around the shaker Lakes area and then as you went back away from the lakes there were smaller homes like Paul's and mine but not bad we led such a play life as kids pre World War two we did practical jokes together we rode bikes together and Paul would come over almost every afternoon and we would play pool up in the pool and he was just short of marvelous Paul's father Arthur was of German Jewish descent he was a partner in a successful sporting goods company and an intimidating figure to the young Paul who considered his father both brilliant and emotionally reticent Newman's Catholic raised mother Teresa was an avid theatre goer who encouraged her youngest son to try acting at age 7 Paul played a court jester in a school production of Robin Hood singing a song written by his uncle Joe Joe Newman was a Cleveland famous poet he was also I playwright and very much into the Arts Paul's father Arthur was more the bookkeeper businessman type they owned this wonderful sporting goods store which was a very very prominent well-to-do business as Paul grew into a handsome teenager his good looks want him female admirers everywhere he went but to his friends he never showed an ounce of conceit my mother was absolutely entranced with Paul's looks she said that he should be in the movies Paul Newman had absolutely no idea whatsoever that he was good-looking he had no idea that he had these gorgeous piercing eyes he was the most unaffected person I've ever met in my entire life an average student who avoided studies Paul drifted from job to job after graduating from high school unlike his hard-working father the easygoing Paul gave little thought to a future career he took work as an encyclopedia salesman succeeding thanks to his natural easygoing charm Paul no one could sell anything he could sell anybody anything he sold a ton of Colliers encyclopedias I was a stiff I probably sold no more than two sets or three sets I believe that he was so successful that he ended up selling his route or his business for over five hundred dollars at the time and that was real money then by 1943 with world war ii raging Paul grew restless and uncertain about his future and enlisted in the Naval Air Corps during the four months before he was inducted he killed time at Ohio University ostensibly majoring in business but majoring in beer drinking and chasing girls as a young man in college he was known for downing the suds a lot after that he was called up and he was sent to Yale University for officers training where he had intended to become a pilot but it was discovered that those beautiful blue eyes were color blind so he was unable to do that determined to serve Paul enlisted in the regular Navy as a radio operator on torpedo planes in the South Pacific based in Hawaii Guam and Okinawa in 1946 Newman returned to Shaker Heights the 21 year old enrolled as a freshman at Ohio's distinguished Kenyon College Kenyon College was an Episcopal Seminary we were forced to go to I guess mass on Sundays or to at least attend church Paul was half Jewish half Catholic and I was all Jewish and this didn't bother either of us at all neither of us were terribly interested in Hawaii but we had to do it in order to pass matured by his Navy experience Paul devoted himself to literature and drama he also showed a passion for sports joining the football team as a linebacker one night after football practice high spirits got out of hand after a fight in a local bar Paul and some teammates were arrested when I went to Kenyon College which is a wonderful school there was sort of a brawl that we got involved and in which several of us wound up in the clink and as a result I was thrown off the football squad and since I had would be something with my time I started act the young war veteran was now determined to make good for the next two years Paul put all his energy into acting grabbing the lead in his college production of the front page in 1949 the 24 year-old graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree his father expected Paul to return to shake her Heights and enter the family business but Paul wanted to prove his school acting triumphs could translate into a career two hours after graduation Neumann headed to Williams Bay Wisconsin for a season in summer stock he next moved on to Woodstock Illinois where he joined the renowned Woodstock players Woodstock was a proving ground to a different show each week three performances and working 12 to 15 hours a day to get everything else well we did everything but sell tickets he'd love to have fun and there were three things that I remember vividly that he liked beer popcorn and I think celery I somehow I have a memory of him showing and celery but sometimes when we were building assets he would draw a line in the middle of the stage and we would be stripped to the waist we each have a bottle of beer we played what he called bum bellies try not the other guy over the line and then he had to get him a beer and he loved to have popcorn we always had popcorn and I said he made it like to make it fresh that certainly led to something didn't at Woodstock Paul was a serious student of acting but he had time for other things besides studying by 1949 he'd begun a serious relationship with Jackie wit a vivacious actress with a sharp sense of humor shortly after they began dating the two were married but just as Newman's career seemed to be getting started his father became gravely ill Paul returned home to shake her Heights to help with the family business by now Jackie was expecting their first child and her husband was becoming a family man with serious responsibilities in 1950 Arthur Newman died having never seen his son performed professionally Paul had always felt he disappointed his father he would hadn't been serious and diligent and about his studies he hadn't succeeded as an athlete he hadn't succeeded in anything as yet four months later Paul's son Scott was born and the aspiring performer knew he had to make a choice once and for all between life is a prosperous shopkeeper or the insecurities of a career in acting Paul made the difficult decision to sell the family business and enter Yale University he enrolled in yells Graduate School of Drama as a directing major intending to go back to Kenyon College as a directing teacher he never intended to become a professional actor he left with $4,000 his wife his son they moved into a frame house in New Haven and Jackie was staying home with their son while Paul was working and going to school during a production in the Little Theater a husband-and-wife team of agents spotted him and gave him their card and invited him to come to Manhattan it was a life-changing opportunity for the young Newman after only six months at Yale Paul had been offered a chance to become a professional actor in New York City Meeta what is it sergeant it's the full answer they see to the point he keeled over sir all of a sudden he's dead sir he's frozen to death soon after his arrival in New York Paul Newman began finding work as a performer in a city that was an actor's Mecca post-war playwrights like Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller had captured a new audience for the American Theatre Manhattan was also the home of the Actors Studio where a naturalistic approach to acting was being taught it was called the method and it was being embraced by such talents as Marlon Brando and James Dean he became a member of the Actors Studio inadvertently by helping out an actress doing a scene with her from Tennessee Williams play and they were so taken with Paul Newman that he became part of the Actors Studio and the actress never did get in using the method Paul learned how to channel his strongly emotional approach to acting into a more subtle performing style hello someone who's helped me a lot in my early days and uh we were just rehearsing a scene I remember she stopped me with a with an absolute a rifle shot of a clap and grabbed a hold of my shirt and said you are not thinking you are just thinking you are thinking and if you watch actors you can tell those who don't necessarily indicate in broad strokes what's going on but you can really see in their eyes that they are going through a process while attending the studio Neumann was pleased to land his first big Broadway role Paul came into New York and just accidentally ran into this third actor and he said listen I've got to go up and see somebody that we Morris office and that they went up to the William Morris office he wanted to see an agent he came out about 10 minutes later or 15 minutes later and Paul wasn't there he sent to the receptionist did you see the good-looking blonde fella that was sick he says oh he's in that office there the door opened up came Paul shaking hands with an agent and Josh Logan and he was cast in picnic it's fine because Josh Logan wouldn't let him play the lead because he wasn't head didn't have enough sexual threat so he was cast in picnic as the hometown boy who ventually loses his girl to this drifter 'the picnic proved to be one of the broadway seasons most successful plays newman also got the chance to work closely with several rising performers among them a talented young actress named Joanne Woodward she was a southern belle very beautiful extremely intelligent woman with with a biting kind of wit and very determined to succeed in her career Joanne was understudying the female roles and they were very drawn to each other but Paul Newman was married and he had a family and he is a man who took being a father and a husband seriously Newman's Broadway success in picnic also won him admirers on the west coast in Hollywood talent scouts at Warner Brothers saw in Paul the potential of a new Marlon Brando and in 1953 the 28 year old was offered a studio contract in Los Angeles for an impressive $1,000 a week although Paul's New York friends warned him that Hollywood was no place for a serious actor he was intrigued and ready to accept the challenge of filmmaking Kevin take one sound sex in Los Angeles Newman tested with fellow Actors Studio alumnus James Dean for the highly anticipated movie East of Eden the point of whether I go for the girls oh yeah all you think the pro girls got the gym who look great sighs mom kiss me huh can't hear ya okay now ride a camera Dean was cast in the film but to Paul's disappointment he got the lead in a different movie one that nearly became his first and last you stand in the streets of ancient Antioch where Caesar's legions proclaimed his pagan power and the lash and forced his law the 1954 drama the silver chalice told a fictional story of a Greek slave who designed the cup used by Christ during the Last Supper how do I love you you must be siding to come to Rome with me I did a memorable memorable film called the silver chalice probably had the distinction of being the first the worst film that was made during the entire decade of the 50s we're been very easy Deborah when we were in the desert to yield to the temptation to be your husband I confess I was trying to take advantage of my last hour alone with you he did the silver chalice for heaven sakes looked like a girl in a skirt basil the pagan whose gifted hands shaped the silver chalice it's a terrible picture Paul was always very embarrassed about that film he was running around it a little jersey tunic halfway to his knees Paul was so embarrassed by his skimpy costume and wooden performance friends had to get him drunk before he agreed to see the film it was a disaster to make matters worse in the joining sound stage East of Eden was filming and Paul Newman had been the other contender with James Dean for the lead whereas Paul Newman was pretty much panned for the role he played in the silver chalice he foresaw that that was going to happen and immediately upon finishing filming wired his agents asking them to get me back on a New York stage quick and luckily for him he went up for and got a role in the desperate hours where he played a burglar and received critical raves for it Newman also earned good notices in another medium by 1955 the golden age of television had arrived Paul was a standout opposite Eva Marie Saint and Frank Sinatra in a live TV broadcast of Thornton Wilder's classic play our town live TV was the best training in the world and we had two weeks rehearsal we're ready to have an audience which was the television audience it was like like doing a play okay I carry your book for you it's not very far thank you Paul was very dear in our town very sensitive he's just such a fine actor I've been spoiled rotten from those days do you George take this woman Emily to be your wedded wife I do whether on television on stage or in Hollywood Paul hungered for the kind of serious parts offered to Marlon Brando and James Dean Newman's frustration spilled over into his home and put a strain on his marriage his drinking increased but in 1955 the actor did find a role he was literally willing to fight for that of prizefighter rocky Graziano in the film adaptation of the gritty autobiography somebody up there likes me but Neumann was not the first choice of director Robert Weiss well originally a James Dean was supposed to have done the part he had read the book and liked it very much depending on the outcome of the screenplay which Werner's Lehman had been assigned to do he said he would like to do it but before the screenplay was finished James Dean was killed in a car accident on a California Highway Paul came in as a suggestion I met him it seemed to be fine I thought he would be just fine for the role that was it Newman launched into a rigorous fitness regime he also studied the real rocky Graziano day and night both in and out of the ring one of the advantages we had was the fact that we had rocky to to model after Paul and I went back to New York and we spent quite a lot of time with rocky we went down the Lower East Side with him and walked around all these hunts where he hung out met a lot of his former buddies and we studied Paul studied Rocky result I think turned out to be one of the best characterizations that Paul's ever done on the screen but what about their monarch eye smearing it all over the front page what a rat I am what a lie what a no booty side pop I am sure a Graziano he's a no-good criminal a coward a yellow rat remember that Graziano's discover a slum deal he'll never how wonderful the opportunity to play a rocky Graziano so early in his film career when he really was looked upon as a gorgeous leading man and he made that a character role I'm gonna tell you something soldier there's no place in this man's army for a wise guy do you understand that wait a minute you bum I mean you may be a captain at all that you don't impress me so hot you're so tough come on outside soldier you just plain crazy maybe I am crazy with being sick and tired it's creep joint but at least I ain't yella somebody up there likes me open to excellent reviews although Paul's work was overlooked by the Motion Picture Academy we were very surprised what he didn't get a nomination as a matter of fact we had a little ceremony down at my house out here at Santa Monica deny the actual Oscars and I had a sketch artist work with me he made up a little phony a kind of Oscar thick little figure that like like that we call it an Oscar head we presented to fall that night out but by Oscar night of 1957 Paul Newman had much more on his mind than awards the married actor had fallen in love in 1957 Paul Newman's personal and professional life would undergo a major change the rising film star had reconnected with actress Joanne Woodward who'd appeared with him five years earlier in the stage play picnic fate kept bringing them together and their attraction for each other was very hard to resist as his marriage to Jackie wit disintegrated Paul began a very private love affair with Joanne the actor was guilt ridden over the romance but the powerful connection between the pair was undeniable Woodward was beautiful talented and like Paul an alumnus of the Actors Studio since picnic Joanne had also become a movie star after her oscar-winning performance in the drama the three faces of Eve well I never seen you take a drink before a lot of things you never seen me do before like mascara I don't do by 1957 Paul Newman realized that his marriage was over separated from Jackie he moved out of his home to begin a new life with Joanne Woodward that year 20th Century Fox decided to bring Paul and Joanne's incendiary chemistry to the big screen you gonna wake up in the moment smiling that's not enough do you understand me that is not nearly enough the film was the sultry southern drama the long hot summer adapted from several stories by author William Faulkner shot on location in Louisiana and Mississippi the movie co-starred Orson Welles and Angela Lansbury and it crackled with erotic energy I am no trembling little rabbit full of smolder and unsatisfied desires that's oh yes that's so we weren't married when we did long hot summer it led to all sorts of interesting things and hotel rooms that's there was no need to say anything about that okay I spent my whole life around men who push and shove and child and think they could make anything happened just by being aggressive and I'm not ancient till another one around the place Clara you slam a door in a man's face for he even knocks on it I consider both of them as extremely able actors and even at that time Paul had had a certain amount of experience and he was very comfortable within himself within his own beauty he was like a young god Clara Clara Clara and there was something about Joann that countered it in the best possible way putting things down is Clara cuz I want to kiss you let me show you how simple it is you please me and I'll please you oh I don't was troubling you it's all those boys hard for you mayor brunette and they seem to have such a total understanding of each other that they were able to translate their own personal feelings and maneuver it around to work in scenes where they were at each other's throats or or falling under each other spells alright you proved it I'm human yes ma'am you were human all right during production Newman and Woodward be to retreat each weekend for nearby New Orleans we also bought a bed or I bought a bed I was so excited about this bed this brass bed which we found in an antique shop and it was quite large for a brass bed and the antique dealer said well the reason it is that large is it was made for a whorehouse and I was so excited by that I said Oh My heavens I have to buy this which I did and it's upstairs in our bedroom they've had it ever since released in 1958 the long hot summer received excellent reviews and became one of the top grossing movies of the year and by the time the film was completed Paul and Jackie Witte had finalized their divorce he and Joanne wasted no time in making their new life together official Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman went to Las Vegas and had a wonderfully tacky Las Vegas wedding with people who were appearing in the various casinos as witnesses like people like Sophie Tucker and Edie gourmet was a comedy of errors it really was it was hilarious the El Rancho Vegas and for some reason now we turned around as we were being married and there was a tea gourmet and and some other people yes I think it came to this this cabin outside the regular party they thought it belonged to the owner and they just kind of came in to save me there was a wedding going on and they just sat there and watched the whole thing came over and say hello at the end but he never never had seen before it the newman's settled in a modest apartment in New York's East 80s the couple's house guests were some of the brightest wits of their generation including writers like gore Vidal Christopher Isherwood and Tennessee Williams Paul and Joanne relished their stimulating company especially after a long stay in Hollywood where Newman had become one of the industry's most dynamic new stars I fear all the time I could count on a Hot Tin Roof and jump off the roof Maggie jump off in 1959 Paul received his first Oscar nomination for his riveting performance the previous year as a sexually confused husband in Tennessee Williams Cat on a Hot Tin Roof co-starring Elizabeth Taylor I don't mind making a fool of myself over you well I mind I feel embarrassed for you feel embarrassed this way you agreed to accept that condition I can't I came the night of the Oscars speculation ran that the 34 year old actor would match his wife Joanne success the previous year instead the award went to David Niven four separate tables but although Newman didn't win he and Woodward were now considered Hollywood's golden couple and Paul's popularity gave him the courage to spend $500,000 to buy out the rest of his Warner Brothers contract Newman was now able to look for offers that were more personally lucrative as well as creatively challenging Paul Newman resisted being praised for his astounding good looks and being packaged as a gorgeous piece of beefcake the thing about Hollywood in those days was when she got typed then that's pretty much where you stayed it's pretty hard to escape the niche that they put you in well this is the award that Charlie Schnee and Bobby Rhys gave Paul last year because he wasn't nominees and so many of their life it says the Schnee wise not screw award to fall new and for best betraying a terrible no good frankly by for turning him into a charming and lovable sprite and for their by doing what Lincoln said could never be done I fooling all of the people all of the time as Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward shuttled between New York and Los Angeles they balanced their bicoastal careers with the demands of family in 1959 they welcomed their first daughter Eleanor and despite his worldwide fame Newman stayed remarkably grounded and unimpressed by celebrity I'm always puzzled by this talk about star image I think this people who are writers or barbers or mechanics or race car drivers have certain recognizable personalities and I don't think just because they happen to be on the screen that it makes them any more exceptional it does rather here take Joann however right in the middle of a discussion when I get up and cook a large batch of popcorn and open a quart of beer and build a fire up at three o'clock in the morning but the great password now content in his personal life Paul returned to the Broadway stage co-starring with Geraldine page in Tennessee Williams new play sweet bird of youth his performance as a selfish gigolo who exploits an aging actress won raves from critics and it was preserved on screen three years later in a well-received film adaptation I had my picture on a cover of Life magazine oh wow and at the same time I was employing my other town full of Megan that may be the only talent you ever truly met before in 1960 Paul and Joann brought their off screen chemistry once again to the movies co-starring in from the terrace a sophisticated drama about boardroom and sexual politics stop it cuz I am engaged to Jim Roper yeah Mary I'm engaged to him don't you didn't say you look you're going throw me back to shore am I going to have to swim back swell Paul couldn't help but connect with the part of a World War two Navy veteran pressured by his father to enter the family business the job at the mill is gonna be yours because the mill would be yours and I hope the friendship would come out of that would come out of what being your errand boy the boss's son your Lackey you never asked me what I wanted to do what I wanted to be now I'm supposed to go into the mill with you what for to please you that's all you're turning me for the rest of my life you'd like that wouldn't you you don't think I can make it on my own not big enough to even walk in my shadow and you never will be by now Paul was making over $100,000 a film on projects like Exodus director Otto Preminger's epic about the formation of Israel co-starring Eva Marie Saint an epic of our time The Birth of a Nation I can't fight the whole British Empire with 600 people it is impossible how many Minutemen did you have at Concord the day they fired the shot heard around the world 77 he's serious but he's not solemn some actors are serious and very solemn but he's very serious in his work and I'm sure in his life but there's there's a lightness to him and tongue-in-cheek since that sense of humor which I find so attractive I think you have to have a lot of ego to be an actor and I works with some wonderful actors but somehow with with Paul the ego does not get in the way so he's can be so wonderful with the other actors in and-and-and the crew for the half Jewish half Christian actor the story of Exodus helped Newman connect with a heritage he hardly knew by 1961 the 35 year old also felt it was time to take a risk with another tough realistic part like the role of rocky Graziano in somebody up there likes me the character he found was that of Fast Eddie Felson the film The Hustler maybe be better if we just leave each other brash arrogant but undeniably charming Fast Eddie gave Paul his best role to date Newman played a scheming pool hustler who takes his one big shot against the legendary Minnesota Fats played by Jackie Gleason he liked to gamble Eddie gambled money on pool games that's what unites you again a straight pool hundred dollars well you shoot big-time pool fats I mean that's what everybody says you shoot big-time pool let's make it 200 out of the game now I know why they call you Fast Eddie Eddie you talk my kind of talk the hustler was the first film where the Paul Newman rebel persona really solidified the anguished alienated loner that that cannot function in society but who slides by on his talent and his native charm it was a perfect role for him it and he fitted it beautifully that's ten now Punk you two-bit Punk come on pay off 100 bucks you quit nice frame yeah I'm quittin I guess Paul Newman thought after all this for shooting you know he really admired jack but I guess he was overcome with his own ability shooting pool and he says Jack II bet Jack $50 on a poor game you know so naturally Jacky childen he just I don't think he even got a shot so they bet $50 on it so the next day Paul Newman come on and put $50 in pennies all over this pool table the hustler was both a critical and box office success and Newman earned his second Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for Paul the hustler signaled the beginning of a highly productive and prolific period of work all right smart guy I'll take you instead I don't want to be August lon you want a piece of Newman earned a third Oscar nomination for the drama HUD co-starring Patricia Neal and Melvyn Douglas the film gave Paul another outstanding part a womanizer whose callous exterior covers hidden vulnerability do you ever ask I don't question I've ever asked any woman at what time is your husband coming home I'd say I've been asked with a little more finesse in my time I'll bring you a two-pound box of candy and maybe a bottle of perfume from the drugstore no thanks I've done my time with one cold-blooded bastard I'm not looking for nothing it's too late honey you already fired Numan saw the part not from the vantage point of a movie star but is another challenging character role even in a role such as HUD where he was supposedly an unregenerate scoundrel with no redeeming qualities whatsoever there's some kind of integrity of character that always seems to shine through if you look at HUD you know he's goes to pieces at the end of that film I'm very vulnerable I was no bundle left outdoors hair wasn't found in no bullrushes you got the same feeling below your belt as any other man say I'm stuck with me for a son although HUD was another triumph for Newman not all of Paul's choices during the 1960's would be as successful but the star preferred to risk and fail rather than rely on his endlessly discussed physical beauty and by 1966 as a new youth movement began to sweep across America Paul's film persona as a social rebel would help him transition from a respected actor into a cultural icon what series of startling events would come to a climax in a scene like this in 1966 41 year-old Paul Newman tackled another creative change of pace torn curtain a Cold War thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock and co-starring Julie Andrews not a scientist in the teacher your scientist and is supposed to respect a natural order in all things breakfast comes before lunch ow mm-hmm my marriage should come before a honeymoon cruise the unpretentious Newman and the highly formal Hitchcock proved a creative mismatch and the critically panned film was a box-office failure but Paul quickly rebounded with a series of well chosen hits that helped redefine the image of the traditional American hero the actor brought an exciting blend of cynicism and bold sexuality to such films as the 1966 detective drama Harper co-starring Lauren Bacall and Robert Wagner haha actively participates with qualified young people's programs you're gonna break that down you want him you really mean it go ahead hot damn and the character in Harper was pretty close to me I didn't have to do a lot of work for that people often ask Harper when he does this kind of groundwork for what do you do this kind of crummy work for anyway are you trying to be funny I do it because I believe in the United Nations in Southeast Asia so long as there's a Siberia you'll find Luke Harper on a job 1967 s Cool Hand Luke gave Paul one of his most popular roles of the decade playing a charismatic chain-gang prisoner whose spirit remains unbroken despite brutal treatment from the law you don't get used to learn and change at the wild but you never stop listening to them clinking but they're gonna remind you what I've been saying we should stop being so good to me Kevin don't you ever talk that way to me what we've got here is failure took new cake Newman's fourth Oscar nomination for Cool Hand Luke made him one of the most nominated non-winners in Academy Awards history many speculated that Paul was so good he made it look too easy but if his professional work went unrewarded his personal life was extremely secure now 42 Paul shared with Joanne an antique filled carriage house in Westport Connecticut with their family which had grown to include two more daughters Melissa and Claire determined to accept new challenges in 1968 Neumann made a successful switch to directing guiding Joann to an oscar-nominated performance in the drama Rachel Rachel Paul enjoyed a life most actors could only dream up his salary per picture had climbed to 750 thousand dollars for films like the intriguing western hombre hombre Mane's man and Paul Newman is hombre like many of his characters Newman was cool independent and confident so confident he wasn't afraid to be funny on-screen Manos Arriba they got him up skip on down don't Eva skip on down todos ustedes r-east men say ala parade there against the wall already donde it hi you're so damn smart you read it the comedy-drama Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was based on the true story of two legendary Old West outlaws at first Paul was slated to play the Sundance Kid with Steve McQueen slated for butch but Newman and director George Roy hill had other ideas they wanted a struggling but promising actor named Robert Redford Paul I was told although I hadn't met him that he liked my work as an actor it was interested in taking the chance on working with an unknown even though we're about you know 12 years apart in age finally George and I just bulldoze and the record speaks for itself I mean it was gangbusters Sundance and we were done if he's dead you're welcome to stay it's not I mean to be a sore loser look when it's done if I'm dead kill him love to no no not yet not to me and Harvey get the rule straightened out rolls and on my fight no rules well there ain't gonna be any rose let's get the fight started someone count one two three go what you three go the on and off screen chemistry between Newman and Robert Redford was instant both actors were involved in political causes had strong family ties and both hated being sex symbols we had so much fun doing it that has to be probably the most fun I made to fill my van I remember saying one time well I almost felt guilty getting paid for it's not quite true working with Paul was great and we developed a lifelong friendship as a result of it chemistry is an ephemeral thing you can't discuss it you can't describe it we drank some beers together and kicked a lot of dirt Oh played a few practical jokes and enjoy each other's invention on the set imagination raindrops keep falling on my head and just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed nothing seems to fit those raindrops are falling on my head they keep falling I think Paul Newman knows more jokes than any living human being and he and Redford had sort of a running gag throughout this film they were sort of one-upping each other um all the time are you doing stay on your woman take her take her well you're a romantic bastard I'll give you that Redford was sensational and he exploded and that was fairly clear in the dailies Paul's producer went to Paul has said he's getting too many close-ups I'm gonna end them Newman said don't do anything don't do anything Newman always wanted telling around him cuz he felt it made him look better alright I'll jump first nope and you jump first no I said what's the matter with you I can't swim are you crazy the fall will probably kill you released in 1969 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid received mixed to negative reviews from many top critics but the film became an unexpected box-office blockbuster one of the top grossing movies of the year within I think about 2 or 3 weeks it rose past the whatever negative criticism there was it just kind of blew right through it and that was the end of that audiences around the world embraced the Western fable and it's magnetic stars who embodied the 60s generations contempt for authority well that ought to do it thank you is enough dynamite there butch Butch Cassidy was nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture that same year Paul took greater control over his career Newman joined with fellow superstars Sidney Poitier and Barbra Streisand to form first artists pictures a company designed to produce smaller more independent films but the need for personal and creative freedom wasn't new for the 44 year old Paul and his wife Joanne were dedicated to a series of liberal causes and political campaigns Paul takes his citizenship very seriously though the highest respect for him not only as actors professional and talented that way but for as a human being for the kind of personal kind of citizen kind of individual that he is outstanding Paul had traveled to Alabama in 1963 with James Garner and Marlon Brando to promote civil rights in 1968 he declared his opposition to the war in Vietnam and campaigned for Eugene McCarthy speaking at the Democratic National Convention as I said before I I carry more weight than then my credentials will allow I apologize for that but you can't consider yourself a disenfranchised citizen really because your in the acting oppression Paul Newman camp a tirelessly for the Democrats in 1968 he discovered much to his surprise that the Jaguar he was renting on weekends was rented during the week by none other than the Republican candidate Richard Nixon known to those who were not voting for Miss tricky dick so Paul Newman left a note for mr. Nixon saying something along the lines that this clutch is tricky so you won't have any trouble with it and then many years later he was very proud to see that he had turned up on President Nixon's enemies list but disappointed that he was only at number 19 at the box office at least Paul Newman was now number one but after the success of Butch Cassidy the actors career hit an unexpected slump as the 1970s began a string of financial disappointments did little for Paul's morale but the actor was still challenging himself in films like the tongue-in-cheek Western the life and times of judge Roy Bean directed by John Huston I'm the new law in this area Greeks worshiped the feed of Aphrodite they loved mortal women as well same goes for me in 1973 Neumann was pleased when Universal Pictures proposed a reteaming of Paul Robert Redford and Butch Cassidy director George Roy hill the project was a comedy about two irrepressible con men it was called the sting Chicago is the place to be in 1936 in those days the big con was a dying art until a first-class grifter on the lam from the FBI and a young gaffer from Joliet joined horses manutuke on the big Mick he's not as tough as he thinks either way interesting it was evident right at the very beginning that that was first-class material and if we do our work together all three of us that it couldn't miss the great Henry Gondorff glad to meet you kid you're a real horse's ass the movies on screen Khan's continued off the set Numan delighted in playing elaborate practical jokes on his director and his co-star Redford left a birthday present for me it was a Porsche it had hit a tree sideways at 90 miles an hour had been cannibalized most of the engine was gone he it was brought and put in my driveway by a tow truck and dropped there that made him one-up so I had some friends compact it and put in a box and I got his alarm code from the real estate lady and four of us carried this box with this compressed Porsche and left it in in the best of you I called the next day and spoke to his kids hi how's it going man anything it was he have no and to this day he's never admitted that this 750 pound compressed Porsche was sitting in his his vestibule so he got the last word on that but I'm not dead yet mr. Shaw this is a gentleman's game we assume you're all good for your debts how much would you like this to show yeah I'll start with 5,000 mr. Shah we usually require a tie at this table if you don't have one we can get you one Hey it'd be real nice of you mr. Longman la nakum released in 1973 the sting was an enormous box-office hit it also was the surprise winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture of the year and reestablished Paul Newman as an international superstar Paul and I'm always talking about doing another project I guess we're both as surprised as anybody else why that hasn't happened considering Hollywood's penchant for doing sequels they try to get us to do one of the sting Butch Cassidy and we weren't interested in that and there's not been a good script that has come our way - we wanted to commit - but we would like to action Newman followed the sting with an all-star Blockbuster whose appeal was literally surefire producer Irwin Allen's disaster drama the towering inferno now the producer of the Poseidon Adventure brings you more spectacle more stars ever seen in one motion picture Newman agreed to appear with co-star Steve McQueen at a price of 1 million dollars plus a percentage of the gross the competitive McQueen considered Newman his greatest rival and some in the press predicted battles on the set between the two superstars but during production the atmosphere was surprisingly light-hearted you got 15 minutes left that's all self-destruct the most fun was Paul Newman he was definitely he definitely liked to have a good time he has he has a very naughty sense of humor he loves practical jokes and I think he knew that this movie was what it was it wasn't gonna be his his oscar-winning best performance ever you know so he was having a good time there and yet of course he was always completely professional Paul has it irascible since humor how many fuse terminal did you check he just he breaks up worse than I do that's irreverent it's um sly in a way but they also there's the extremely body you're looking very pleased with yourself I must say but just yes Catherina Jerry would you tie mr. Newman down Newman of McQueen we're ready for that stuff you know they're macho guys they're gonna whatever happened to them they loved it can we do this how about more water you know the towering inferno also gave Newman the chance to share the screen with his own son Scott now 24 years old Scott Newman was struggling to achieve success on his own as a performer it was one of many ways that he emulated his famous father but Scott felt increasingly frustrated by his own lack of achievement they were both very charming and they both had this drive to succeed but it was very difficult to him to have a father who was this living legend a heroic type of figure and how is the son going to make his mark when his father is so accomplished in very thing that the son wants to do so you can stop worrying about me what about me down there worrying about you the towering inferno released in 1974 the towering inferno grossed over 100 million dollars in a theatrical run that lasted nearly a year pot on the heels of the sting the film solidified Paul Newman's status as a Hollywood superstar but when the spotlight turned too bright on him Paul needed to retreat into his world of outside interests the actor was reluctant to give interviews and fought hard to maintain his privacy amid the nonstop scrutiny of press and the public I think I get a very unfortunate a view of the press I think of what is written about me about 5% is accurate I'm not comfortable for the most part with the press and they're not comfortable with me I certainly am not comfortable with photographers I don't know how people survive that you see it's an interesting topic because he has survived it and I think with that sense of humor it hasn't gone to his head or destroyed him and I think partly must be because of his roots and his marriage and his children he's had a very secure home life and I think that's part of it Paul Newman may appear to be aloof to autograph hounds or people who demand that he take off his sunglasses so they can see his eyes but I think that's entirely justifiable with his family and friends he's said to be a wonderful husband and father he has though admitted at times to being somewhat emotionally remote from his children and regretful of that despite Newman's commitment to his wife and family even he and Joann couldn't escape Hollywood gossip that there was trouble in their marriage periodically rumors would surface that they were about to break up finally Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman took out an ad apologizing for not obliging the gossip columnist but they would try to come up with something for them but they actually liked each other very much but was true that the superstar had found a new love auto racing while filming winning in 1968 Newman discovered that he could escape the pressures of celebrity on the racing circuit era when what else he just wants to win he doesn't care what the stakes are one of the IndyCar teams would rent us a car to teach him here's this guy factor he's going to become a race driver Yeah right no one really believed it so we rented a Ford gt40 he started out a little rough but then gradually step by stuff he started picking it up learning very quickly in fact Paul raced so well that he insisted on doing his own stunts driving on-screen much to the concern of studio bosses and his wife Joanne was not very keen on Paul driving a race car period gradually she started Lee something anything she finally accept the fact that he's driving smooth he's using his head and he's really not gonna get hurt and then she got enthusiastic about it in 1975 Newman formed his own team PLN racing over the next few years PLN proved its talent at showings and dozens of races all over the country your third fastest in this session I think the track might have slowed up a little bit thank you sky no problem Paul now planned his film shoots around his racing schedule he even made fun of his passion on screen in the Mel Brooks comedy silent movie starring Paul Newman but as Newman's real-life racing became more competitive it also got more dangerous all was involved in several serious crashes still the actor managed to always walk away unhurt professionally Paul was also ready to tackle an adventurous slate of films the 1977 comedy slap shot reteamed the star with his Butch Cassidy and sting director George Roy hill this time the subject was hockey and a dirty side of professional sports behind the comedy the sex the wild excitement this is the absorbing story of one man fighting to hang on in a world gone absurd I don't want you to score go oh yeah but despite many strong reviews the raunchy slap shot failed to score at the box office Neumann also joined forces in the late 1970s with another Hollywood maverick director Robert Altman whose outrageous satires of American life Paul greatly admired their first film together was the comedy Buffalo Bill and the Indians in which Newman and Altman punctured the legend of the real-life Old West hero Sunday my hair is gonna be as long as Custer's it also features cowboy countless feats of Western skill and very dear wisdom difference between a white man in all situations is it an engine Brenda my logo is a symbol as far as I'm concerned I just looked upon him to the first movie star and the reason that I'm enjoying was probably more than the other reason is that it really murders me and Redford and Gable and Tracy and McQueen because he did there's simply no way that a human being can sustain what has become legendary about him over the years although Newman loved making the film Buffalo Bill and the Indians was harshly received by most reviewers undaunted the star and Robert Altman reteamed for the futuristic drama quintet it was another critical and commercial misfire Paul would do a character role that it would be not successful at all either accepted in Hollywood as the enormous talent that it was he wasn't doing the thing that they thought he should be doing or that he was known for despite slipping box office newman still enjoyed challenging himself as an actor as he moved further away from his image of a movie star many believed paul was born lucky having achieved so much wealth Fame and happiness but in 1978 the 53 year old was hit with a devastating personal tragedy for years Newman's only son Scott had struggled to make his own mark in the world but the would-be actor had yet to find his way and by the mid 1970s Scott had turned to drugs the same way that Paul Newman felt that he disappointed his father Arthur Scott Newman probably felt he disappointed his own father and was difficult to measure up when Paul learned of his son's addiction Newman tried to reach out with help but Scott resisted Newman had even hired medical doctor and a psychologist to be on call for his son but outside of being with him 24 hours seven days a week there was nothing really he could do in November of 1978 Paul was directing a play at his alma mater Kenyon College when he received news he had long dreaded Scott Newman had been found dead in a Los Angeles hotel room killed by a lethal mix of drugs and alcohol he was 28 years old his father later told the press I don't think I'll ever escape the guilt as Paul Newman mourned the death of his only Son his sadness shifted in time into determination as he found a way to turn the greatest loss of his life into a way to help others in 1980 he and Joanne Woodward founded an organization to help treat other victims of alcohol and drug abuse they named it the Scott Newman foundation he's done something really unique out of tragedy I've always admired the effort and the ability that he has put into this charitable organization for Scott Hillman and he's done just a fantastic job he's worked hard at something that he does not ever have to benefit financially from and never intended to and that's few and far between in this world today I think things change within one's life you go through good good times and bad times traumas in one's life and Paul lost a son and somewhere along the way had to take its toll in sense of changing and being possibly deeper some resources of of yourself professionally the 1980s would begin for Paul Newman with a commercial disappointment the Irwin Allen disaster epic when time ran out failed to rekindle the box-office magic of the towering inferno but for the rest of the decade all skillfully redefined his screen image bringing a maturity and increased subtlety to his work now Paul Newman has gone straight to the most commanding role of his career in 1981 the actor gave an impressive performance playing an embattled middle-aged cop in Fort Apache the Bronx I've been on this job 18 years I think every minute it was on my face honey Fort Apache the drops that same year Neumann played a fresh variation on his loner image starring with Sally Field in absence of malice playing a libeled businessman who fights back against the press there are several reasons why paul newman has made such a graceful transition from his earlier persona as heroic leading man to his mature persona as heroic leading man part it has to do with the public's growing recognition through the years that this man is indeed a hero in his personal life whose charitable works in his political and social efforts in 1982 the 57 year-old gave what many critics and viewers considered the performance of his lifetime his name is Frank Galvin before cases in the last three years he's lost them all he drinks this man scared to death to go to court the verdict cast Newman as a washed-up attorney who gets a last chance at redemption when he takes on a medical malpractice case against powerful political forces he said if not now when I know what I said but not now all right II suppose I can win it I can win this case ironically the role of Frank Galvin had earlier been offered to Robert Redford who wanted to change the nature of the character but Newman responded to the part exactly as written maybe I can do something right well I could certainly understand his attraction to booze I went through a long time that I tied misbehavior long road that has no time newman jumped at the chance to play a character whose frailties he recognized in himself what attracted paul newman mainly to the role of Frank Galvin and the verdict was that Frank Galvin was a frightened man a wounded icon of goodness you could say there are no other cases this is the case I don't know other cases is the case Paul Newman has always been afraid of failure but what makes him wonderful is that he has constantly challenged his own fear of failure so that if he's afraid of anything his friends say you can be sure that he will try to do it but while rehearsing before filming Paul made an unsettling discovery I realized that I still had a long way to go and it wasn't as though I would be ready for opening night as I should have been that I had just begun to tap the complexity of that guy the emotional bankruptcy that he was facing if I take the money I'm lost I'll just be a rich ambulance chaser by the time cameras rolled Paul had profoundly connected with the character all I want on this trial with a fair shake okay pushing him to court five days early I lose my star witness and I can't get a continuance and I don't care I'm going up there I'm gonna try it I'm gonna let the jury decide and they told me about you so you're a hard-ass you're a defendants judge oh I don't care I said to hell with it I'll with it the verdict earned Newman his sixth nomination for Best Actor many in Hollywood including the film's co-producer Richard zanuck believed that this year the Oscar would be Paul's he was shooting a picture in Florida I begged him to come to the awards and he said I've I don't think I'll get it he said I've been nominated five times before I've never gotten it I said this is a time you're gonna get it so he did fly out we had dinner at my house he went to the awards the night the next night and he he didn't get it the statue eluded newman for a sixth time when ben kingsley won that night for gandhi but Paul Newman was at a period in his life where Awards no longer seemed important his focus was now on accomplishments beyond acting during the 1980s Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward selfless interest in philanthropic causes grew one night while dining at Beverly Hills fashionable Chasen's restaurant Paul told the management he didn't like their oily salad dressing from this humble start almost as a joke Paul took his Newman's own dressing on the market to local Connecticut supermarkets donating the profits to charity within a few years a multi-million dollar food company was born Newman's Own was so successful that by 1985 Paul and Joann presented a check for 250,000 dollars for emergency relief to drought stricken Africa Paul with typical humor was quoted as saying from salad dressing all blessings flow in Hollywood Newman also continued to find rewarding projects he co-wrote and directed the sensitive family drama Harry and Sun and he directed Joanne John Malkovich and Karen Allen in a film of Tennessee Williams classic play The Glass Menagerie but despite his many accomplishments one achievement still eluded Paul Newman he had never won an Academy Award the oversight became so glaring that in 1986 the Motion Picture Academy decided to honor Paul with a special Oscar for lifetime achievement but Newman wasn't out of the race yet Paul Newman Tom Cruise in a Martin Scorsese picture that year the 61 year old returned to one of his most famous roles from 25 years before Newman played an older and wiser Fast Eddie Felson in the color of money director Martin Scorsese's sequel to the hustler you're an incredible flake but that's a gift it's always hard for me to be around a person who has a set of mythic presence on the screen when you first moment you see him on that screen and then to be around the person in in a normal situation I was about to make the color of money in for a few weeks or a couple of months actually it took me a little while to feel that I could be a little more comfortable around Paul Newman and as Paul told me you know don't tell me when you're a kid you watching I though of course when I was a child it was about eight or nine or ten or eleven twelve this Paul Newman up on the screen I'm not your daddy I'm not your boyfriend so don't be playin games with your partner co-starring Tom Cruise the film featured a textured and mature performance from Newman it's so hard to explain what it takes to be able to tap the emotion that you carry with you sometimes you have to dig for it at other times it's at your fingertips and you don't even have to call on it you know resource here for a rental you make him feel good I teach him how to run five hundred bucks says you choke right now you me yes I did he's smaller I smell smoke money Paul Newman had always felt that Fast Eddie Felson hustler was not finished that he had not learned his lesson and the color of money in a sense finishes that character's development and the role that Tom Cruise played was very much parallel to the young Fast Eddie Felson with Paul Newman playing Eddie now as mentor towards a young cocky man who's very gifted but will not listen the color of money also sparked an off-screen friendship between the veteran actor and his screen protege there are a lot of parallels between the youthful Paul Newman and Tom Cruise wanting to resist being cast solely on the basis of looks wanting to prove themselves as actors enjoying masculine challenging sports and the two developed a wonderful relationship Paul Astor if I teach Tom Cruise it was looking at doing another movie doing a movie on racing he wasn't his keen though as Paul Paul decided I want to drive a race car and that's it that's what I'm gonna do Tom drove a race car because they were gonna make a movie I think that there lies the difference the color of money was one of the biggest hits of the year Paul earned his seventh Academy Award nomination for Best Actor to avoid the public embarrassment of yet another defeat Newman stayed home instead of attending the ceremony but on March 30th 1987 Paul Newman was finally awarded the Oscar for the year's Best Performance by an actor later summing up his feelings Newman said it's like chasing a beautiful woman for 80 years finally she relents and you say I'm terribly sorry I'm tired Paul asked me if I would accept for him and I told me roughly what he felt about it Betty Davis was a presenter so when she was the one to give me the Oscar I was going to say if what roughly what Paulin asked me to say so I go out to get this and just about to start to thank him she said well we would go we want to talk about you when I talk about your films we want to talk about these films made all my films not all a lot of and they wouldn't let me get in there at all with my words of thanks and appreciation to the audience there the Academy never did by the time I got her calm down and got her shut up in a sense we were off the air so I had to call Paul the next hit tell if that was sorry I had had a chance to express his appreciation after his Oscar win for the color of money Paul Newman continued to devote his time and energy to auto racing directing and the expansion of his charitable causes his Newman's Own food company now offered other products among the most popular was a snack that Paul had loved to eat since childhood popcorn by the end of the 1980s Newman's Own was among the best known popcorn brands in the nation and it helped the actor earn the title of one of modern America's leading philanthropists makes millions of dollars come in with those products of his ago or the market doesn't keep a set of himself it all goes to charity for those camps for kids that are suffering from a beautiful cancer here and abroad he's most generous man just his philanthropic one of the organization's created by Newman's own revenues was the hole-in-the-wall camp formed four seriously and terminally ill children the camp offered facilities for over 1,000 children from age 7 to 15 it also included a 300 acre reproduction of a western town complete with log cabins a theater a boathouse and a frontier hospital with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment this biggest realize of making movies more Oh more of ice by a factor of about 50 I guess the biggest reward that I've ever had is it's has been to take what I've got and be able to spread it around a little bit in 1992 Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward were presented with one of the highest awards an American performer can receive the Kennedy Center Honors thank you very much this is a special night for all of us sir Lee for Paul and Joanne and the other recipients but for me as well I'm here tonight to share my affection in my respect one of their pet projects is a summer camp for children with life-threatening illnesses that they built in Connecticut in 1986 and tonight the children have come here to Washington to honor them so ladies and gentlemen I'd like to present the hole-in-the-wall gang I'm here we're here to pay tribute to our two good friends Paul and joy the following year the Newman's celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary Paul was the first to admit that it hadn't always been easy but he and Joanne weren't quitters I think would be a very difficult profession to be in and to be that look biggest star and not have some anchors in your life someone who loves you for who you are and not the ratings of the movies or whatever and I think that's important and he's had that he's had a very secure home life as an actor Newman had continued to choose roles that challenged and invigorated him he especially loved working with Joanne in films like the Merchant Ivory drama mr. and mrs. bridge in which he played a patrician figure not unlike his own father but the actor could also let loose playing an oversexed Louisiana politician in love with a tantalizing stripper in the comedy drama blaze he even poked fun at his own image with a vocal cameo on the hit TV series The Simpsons Homer I'll tell you what I told Redford it ain't gonna happen in 1995 Newman received his eighth Best Actor nomination for the touching comedy-drama nobody's fool co-starring Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith Paul responded strongly to the part of an aging father who struggles to connect with his son after years of conflict nobody's fooled there was a certain dimension that surprised me and maybe just comes from getting older but there was a kind of relaxation that I I could have watched and watch I was sorry when that movie was over look how many stars of his ilk stop at his age and he's talked about stopping I've seen it in print whether he's actually said it but is now a full-blown character actor but he still has that magnitude to attract a female audience it's great to think that you could stay in the business as long as he's been in and not be bitter or cranky or he just enjoys everything and everything's a surprise for him whether it's a new piece I remember him once Thank You Mika me want you to listen to this and bringing me into listened to some string quartet or sonnet tape that he had you know tasteless tomato you know he'd bring me and me I just got these tomatoes and tasteless to me I mean just so enthusiastic and about life I mean obviously that's why it looks so great he says good looking today in a different way as he ever was as a kid even in his aging today tremendous amount of the youth that was there and I think it's wonderful in 2000 the actor returned to the stage joining his wife Joanne in ancestral voices a gentle comic story of a young man dealing with the divorce of his grandparents two years later the 77 year old accepted a different and much darker role on the big screen in director Sam Mendes drama Road to Perdition Co starring Tom Hanks Newman brought a chilling pain and depth to the part of a ruthless Irish gangster you think I'd give up my son he was betraying you I know now listen to me I tried to avoid more bloodshed you wouldn't accept that so I did what was necessary but I have always loved you like a son and now I'm telling you leave before it's too late all you got to do is do it and that's how you fill those moments so that they are just static Louis I don't know that you can always capture all of it but you can certainly bring the audience in with you so that they can read the indecision or they we can read the conviction or they can read the probing whatever it is that you're trying to convey Road to Perdition gave Paul his ninth Oscar nomination and the star still showed no signs of slowing down Paul loves his work though I don't think he'll ever beat our loves to act Newman next made a triumphant return to Broadway starring in an acclaimed production of our town 2003 also marked the 21st year of the company Newman's Own with over 125 million dollars donated to charity the spaghetti sauce is out grossing my films and it's a public humiliation that I don't have to go to each other Paul signed an exclusive deal with the fast food chain McDonald's to supply his dressings for their premium salads the agreement created even greater earnings for his charitable causes I think he's just one of one of the verifier citizens in this country and he's terribly devoted anything he does but you didn't see the fours out there did you enforce no how good her moment I thought we were in trouble with his enduring talent and charm Paul Newman has evolved from a child of privilege in Shaker Heights to become one of the finest screen actors of his generation along the way he has also helped countless people to realize their own dreams of a better life Paul is a class act sweet class act with a sense of humor you're looking very pleased with yourself I must say veterus yes curse maybe I'm a pushover Paul Newman he has a wonderful sense of humor but what was underneath all that was this absolute discipline boy I got vision in the rest of the world where's bifocal Paul Newman over the years has really come to embody a wonderful notion of what we want a man to be he has that primitive masculine energy but he is transmuted into something very noble and very wonderful he's a totally unpretentious person he's not seemingly in it for himself and he is very generous it's fun to work with him he's a real human being you
