Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile describing the often-fraught relationship between Paul Newman and his difficult mother, this documentary recounts an argument between them in which Newman's mother, in an attempt to hurt him, claims that she "knows" that Newman's wife, Joanne Woodward, has been having an affair with their friend, Gore Vidal. This led to Newman cutting his mother out of his life for many years afterward. What the documentary does not explain at the moment the story is recounted is why Newman knew this story could not possibly be true: although Woodward and Vidal were briefly engaged when both were very young, Vidal was gay and later in her life Woodward said that the engagement had been only for publicity purposes. In fact, Vidal was one of the few openly gay well-known American public figures during the mid-twentieth century; in 1967, Vidal appeared in the network TV news special The Homosexuals (1967) of CBS Reports (1959) in which he was one of the only self-identified LGBTQ+ people to appear onscreen without his identity being somehow obscured, either facially or through the use of a pseudonym.

A Beloved Hollywood Couple -
Who accomplished so much. Their liberal politics and philanthropy should be inspiring to everybody. These are 2 of my favorite actors ever and they deserve every bit of admiration and accolades and then some more. Thank you Ethan Hawke and all the others for providing us with this beautiful documentary of 2 talented and good people! We binge watched once and plan 2 do it again. We even made note of the great movies we want 2 see again. Movies 2 watch w/Joanne & Paul
