![]() When he became a star, his mother sent him clips of negative reviews. She became a symbol of his bottled-up emotions and low self-esteem, and success did little to wash away those feelings. His mother draws the most criticism in his memoir, followed closely by Newman himself. His heavy-drinking father was emotionally distant while his mother might beat him one moment and hug him the next. Paul soon followed, not making the marriage any happier. Newman grew up in a well-off but dysfunctional household in Shaker Heights, Ohio, his parents marrying when their first son was conceived out of wedlock. Just watch “The Hustler,” “Hud,” “Cool Hand Luke,” “The Verdict” or “Nobody’s Fool.”Īnimatronic dragon bursts into flames during Disneyland show Says who? Newman himself, in “The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man,” a stunning memoir by an actor who could convincingly play a charismatic but self-destructive outsider because he knew the breed all too well. The movie star who craved privacy had a lot to keep private. After he became a social activist in the 1960s and ’70s he considered getting into politics, but thought his drinking might become an issue.
