[QUOTE="BarrontheTigercat, post: 1445095, member: 21308"] Newman was reputedly a fruit like many oh-so-heterosexual Hollywood actors. His wife Joanne Woodward was his beard and is meant to have had a long term relationship with a famous Hollywood lesbian whose name escapes me right now. I loved his role in Cool Hand Luke and I liked him as an actor. Supposedly there was a lot of studio disquiet over his performance in the Color of Money as, ....in trying to play an older wise cracking avuncular figure to Tom Cruise, he came across as an aging queen. I remember at the time overhearing some strait-laced Scottish people talking about it, Paul Newman's role, realizing he was gay and never having known it before. On the subject of celebrities Jewishness/ non-Jewishness I do have a problem with Jewish people sending up Italian Americans and being told by the media that this is !!incredible!! and !!so funny!! - cases in point Henry Winkler as The Fonz/ Fonzarelli and Andrew Silverstein as Andrew Dice Clay (who I have to admit I never found particularly funny in the first place).
