Paul Newman by Daniel D. Brein -Paul Newman is one of Hollywood's great film legends. With a long list of memorable films and great performances, Newman went from playing cool, handsome leading men to playing off-beat characters with equal success. But through it all his harshest critic has always been himself. His father disapproved of his son's chosen profession and did not live to see his son make a success of himself. However, Newman forged ahead and made a mark on the stage. His first screen appearance was an awful start, but with "Somebody Up There Likes Me" he became a star and what followed was several memorable screen appearances. He was respected and loved by audiences and became a box office superstar. Despite this he favored more off-beat roles in which he could show his range and versatility, he also showed his talent for directing.
Newman's life off-screen was decent. He had a long and lasting marriage to his second wife, actress Joanne Woodward, who he directed in several films, he was well known for his political activism, his love of racing, his charity work and of course "Newman's Own" food products which he jokingly said "have outgrossed my movies". We are also given insight into his troubled relationship with his son and his alcohol problems. $20
The Real Kate-A Personal Biography of Katherine Hepburn by Charlotte Chandler - Drawing on a series of recordings over many years, beginning in the mid-1970s, Charlotte Chandler has written the most intimate and personal biography ever published of Hollywood legend, Katharine Hepburn. Introduced by George Cukor, who directed Hepburn in films such as The Philadelphia Story, and Adam's Rib, Chandler socialized with Hepburn at the Cukor estate, allowing Chandler to tape their conversations, during which Hepburn spoke candidly about her personal and professional lives: finding the body of her adored older brother, an apparent suicide at fifteen, and assuming his birthday, even his name, as her own; intimate details of her marriage and divorce from Ludlow Ogden Smith, ‘ Luddy’ ; and her affair with Howard Hughes. She said that she enjoyed diving nude off the wings of his seaplane when they went swimming together. Her warmest recollections were of her twenty-seven-year affair with Spencer Tracy. Including the huge family influence that shaped Hepburn’ s personality and including interviews with many of the stars that worked with Hepburn over the years, Katharine Hepburn: A Personal Biography is a fascinating, delightful, and personal book that brings readers as close as possible to the real Katharine Hepburn. $10
The Man Who Saw A Ghost - The Life and Works of Henry Fonda by Devin McKinney - The first major biography of the iconic actor Henry Fonda, a story of stardom, manhood, and the American character
He worked with movie masters from Ford and Sturges to Hitchcock and Leone. He was a Broadway legend. He fought in World War II and was loved the world over.
Yet much of his life was rage and struggle. Why did Fonda marry five times―tempestuously to actress Margaret Sullavan, tragically to heiress Frances Brokaw, mother of Jane and Peter? Was he a man of integrity, worthy of the heroes he played, or the harsh father his children describe the iceman who went onstage hours after his wife killed herself? Why did suicide shadow his life and art? What memories troubled him so?
Fonda is dark, complex, fascinating, and a product of glamour and acclaim, early losses and Midwestern demons―a man haunted by what he'd seen, and by who he was. $10
