Paul Newman, a memoir comes out 14 years after his death

(ANSA) - NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 04 - An autobiography of Paul Newman left unpublished by the actor while he was still alive will be published next year in the USA. As of yet untitled, the memo will include "Newman's reflections on his childhood, his acting and directorial career, family, fame, Hollywood, Broadway, love and two marriages, alcohol, politics and old age," he announced. publisher Alfred Knopfche edited the publication. All based on hours and hours of recordings that the self-star of "Butch Cassidy" and "The Stangata" had accumulated decades ago, frustrated by the many unauthorized biographies and how the media treated her life. The authentic oral history was then transcribed,but the texts had remained abandoned in the cellar of the Connecticut house where the widow Joanne Woodward still lives. Only recently did the family decide to turn them into 'memoir'. "It is an honest and revealing tale of the extraordinary life span of a man who was very imperfect early in life and young, but who as an old man became the Paul Newman we all want him to be," Peter Gethers, l. Knopf editor who will take care of the publication. (HANDLE).New York Times' Peter Gethers, Knopf's editor who will oversee the publication.
