Paul Newman: A Life by Shawn Levy.
I've read two celebrity biographies in my life. Both autobiographies, actually:
Evenings with Cary Grant and
Lauren Bacall: By Myself. I've got Katharine Hepburn's
Me sitting on my TBR shelf, and I really thought that would fill my lifetime quota. But then
Shawn Levy came out with this:
Who am I to resist a
Hud-era shot of Paul Newman without a shirt? Wow.
I got this one from the
Internet Review of Books to do a review for the September issue. Since Levy is a Portland author, I'm hoping to post the review on
Reading Local as well, as soon as IRB is finished with it.
