Paul Newman - Andrew Cooper - Bog

He was a mediocre student and early on in his career sold encyclopedias for a living. Unsure of what he wanted to do with his life, he joined the navy during World War II but returned to his love for acting which was instilled in him by his mother. Initially landing Broadway roles, he later moved to Hollywood where his life changed. During his career, he was an 8-time Oscar nominee, a generous philanthropist, a highly successful entrepreneur and an unpretentious man who was absolutely devoted to his family and the craft of acting. Today, we know him as Paul Newman and this is his story.
