    I have a true story to tell about Paul Newman. This happened to a friend of my sister when living in Long Beach California. Paul Newman was in a small ice cream shop sitting at a table. My sister's friend went in to get an ice cream cone and saw him and got so flustered that when she got outside to her car she realized she had left her ice cream cone in the store. She went back inside and Paul Newman said to her, "Mam, you put it in your purse." Isn't that a hoot?

    For anyone who doesn't know, David Niven was one of the few British actors living in Hollywood who give up their film career to fight in WW2. Not content with being assigned to a motor training battalion, he transferred into the commandos. He trained at the highly secretive Special Operations Executive, informally named Churchill's Secret Army or the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. He led "A" squadron, known as the phantoms, who were responsible for penetrating deep behind enemy lines. Taking part in the Allied invasion of Normandy, his squadron was responsible for keeping rear commanders informed on changing battle lines. He rarely talked of his wartime exploits but was well known for being a James Bond like operator.

      Actually, Paul had long finished Car on a Hot Tin Roof at this point. It opened in the movie theater on 08/27/1958. Paul’s comedy Rally Round the Flag Boys opened 12/23/1958. CoaHTR was such a success that it was still running at the movie theater on Broadway when RRtFB opened. This appearance on WML is 01/25/1959, the day before his 34th birthday, which made Paul one of the very few guests to have 2 pictures playing on Broadway at the time of their WML appearance.

    Paul Newman's reputation and respect as a good person has always held up as far as I know, rare in the entertainment world. His works of philanthropy has carried on after his death under the stewardship of his daughter and maybe other family members. Seeing this clip of a great human being is heartwarming. A person's occupation always ranks second, in my book...ya gotta have impeccable character first. And I think he did. One bright light left us when P.N. passed from this earth.🌌

      goldenthroat86 -- Few men were or are as good looking as Paul Newman -- especially with those vivid blue eyes of his. He once joked, ""If my eyes should ever turn brown, my career is shot to hell." (I note that he was colorblind.) He was married to Joanne Woodward for over 50 years, which marriage ended with his death. I've read that not a single scandal was ever associated with Paul Newman or Joanne Woodward and I believe that. The Newmans were very nice people.

      ***** -- I don't know what your problem is. I didn't claim Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward had a good relationship because Paul Newman was handsome. I stand by my statement, however, that Paul Newman was good looking. He was, and many millions of people beside me thought so. As I also said, he and his wife were very nice people. As I said, I really don't know what your issues are, but your statements about what I wrote are far from cogent.

    In the mid 90's I was at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with my wife and kids. By that time Paul Newman was half of the Newman-Hass Indycar team which had Mario Andretti and Nigel Mansell as drivers, The only time that teammates were both Indycar and Formula 1 champions. We were in the Pit area and noticed Mr Newman approaching on a golf cart, just outside his motor coach he was approached by a group of 40-50 year old ladies who were just the right age to be his fans. I'm sure he was busy but he took a few minutes to visit with them and take a few pictures, they were having the time of their lives. A real class act.

They were showing us around the camp, and you could see they really cared about these children. More than that, the children really loved them. There was genuine affection between the kids and the Newmans. I will never forget that visit.
    I think about that visit and what they did for those children when I hear about celebrities whose money is used used for drugs and rehab and writing books about the drug and rehab experience. The world needs more Newmans.

    Right after this show, like Lucy Ball, and Bette Davis, Newman moved to Westport Connecticut. I used to see him and his wife in town. They lived next to a junior high school in a very ordinary house that looked exactly like everyone else's, with bikes in front of the garage and an older Volvo wagon. Nice people.

    David Niven was a Scot, although his mother was French. Two nationalities that get along very well. In WWII he was first in the Highland Light Infantry and then I believe they transferd him to British Intelligence. As a child he thought he was special. He recited the Lord's Prayer as he heard it, "Our Father which are a Niven!"

    I've posted before but still. Sitting here in 2019. I will forever remain in open-mouthed disbelief that there was once a time when intelligence, wit, erudition and charm had a place on prime time television. Some observations: Ms Francis as charming as a peach and what a twinkle, Mr Cerf's "twangy" accent … love it and could listen to it all day, Niven's handsome enough with real charm but Newman even in black and white is ridiculous - no wonder the women swooned. I think he and Burton were two of the handsomest men ever to have graced Hollywood.

He was a great and generous friend to his Alma Mater throughout his life donating many millions of dollars to that fine institution and returning there at a time to teach drama. Student accounts relate his generosity and humility as a relatable person in that role. Just wanted to share that info. about that radiant man. Thank you for the upload.

      It would be rude not to. Cat-calling used to be considered a compliment back when intelligence was a virtue.

Stop drinking the feminist kool-aid before it gives you brain cancer, like it always inevitable does.

That's a completely absurd statement, just because a woman doesn't like being cat called or wolf whistled or whatever does NOT mean they are a feminist. Also did you hear any cat calls or wolf whistles when Paul Newman came onto the show, because he is a good looking man that's because women don't do that sort of thing because THEY don't like it done to them. No regardless of what you yourself might think, it is NOT a compliment. You kind of sound like an Idiot.
