Following the death of most Hollywood legends, it is only a matter of time before someone decides they are going to cash in on the secrets that the celebrity didn’t share with the public. This is how we see Shawn Levy‘s new bio Paul Newman: A Life, about the actor who passed away last September, after a courageous battle with lung cancer.
The book, set to launch next month, paints a picture of Newman as a “functioning alcoholic” and womanizer. Levy writes about how Paul wore a beer opener around his neck and drank nearly a case of beer a day followed by scotch. He went on to say that no matter where the star was, he reportedly had a drink in hand.
Newman, married to Joanne Woodward for 50 years, apparently carried on affairs while married, including several of long duration.
There aren’t too many people in Tinsel Town who don’t have skeletons in their closet and we are of the opinion that if they are able to keep them under wraps and function in society without causing too many waves, let them rest in peace.
