Paul Newman
Okay, I admit, Paul Newman is one of my favourite
actors. Just look at the great films he has made and it is
not hard to see why. Hud, Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, The Towering
Inferno, all classics and I haven't even mentioned Butch Cassidy
And The Sundance Kid or The Sting yet! The guy was immense!
But I'm going to skip over Winning and the Drowning Pool and
get to my favourite Paul Newman films. The Verdict, for instance,
where he is superb as the alchoholic lawyer in a truly inspirational
story. I love it. And Absense Of Malice where Paul Newman
stars with Sally Field in a brilliant and cleverly conceived
film. Then there is, and I'm going to surprise you here, Message
In A Bottle where he plays the father to Kevin Costner's grieving
widower. It is a deeply touching, moving film where Paul Newman
is simply brilliant and glues the film together even though
his character is largely in the background, but it is the
small touches he makes in that film that really opened my
eyed to what a huge talent Paul Newman was...
Paul Newman was nominated for an Academy award
seven times for best actor and won it once for his role in
The Color Of Money where he reprised the character Fast Eddie
Felson from the classic Hustler...

The novel they considered too controversial!

Recommended reading for everyone who loves a great thriller!
For a little over $5, which is £3 something, Raw Nerve is a serious page turner! |

The Hollywood Movie History
The greats of the silent movie period included
Rudolf Valentino, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton,
Laurel & Hardy and a whole host of stars whose talents live
on in the many characters they portrayed. Jean Harlow is perhaps
the most successful of the stars who began their career in the
silent era and whose star continued in ascendancy into the talkies.
The western film genre has been the birth place for many great
film stars, not least of which is the Great John Wayne. Blockbuster
movies dominated the 80's and 90's with Silvester Stallone,
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis competing for the title
greatest action hero of them all... and then Matt Damon brought
Ludlum's character Jason Bourne to life all too vividly and
a whole new action hero was born.
And, although great women's roles are still all to rare, Vivien
Leigh's Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With The Wind, Marilyn Monroe's
Sugar Kane in Some Like It Hot, Grace Kelly as Tracy Lord in
High Society, Michelle Pfeifer in the Baker Boys and Julie Roberts
in Erin Brockovich are just a few great and memorable perfomances
I have experience by women in the movies...
