Pretty Paul Newman

Paul Newman is such an attractive man. I love looking at his pictures; he just has that look that I love in a guy. Masculine, yet clean cut. He looks like he can man handle you or treat you like a lady, depending on your mood. He has a timeless face and a smile which has made him irresistible throughout each phase of life.

People just looked differently back then (1940s-1960s). They had a classier flare, a certain style which seems to have died out when our grandparents turned 80.  

Another admirable trait that Paul Newman seems to have is his devotion to his wife. Or, I should say, their devotion to each other. A quote from his wife, Joanne Woodward (woman in picture above), “Sexiness wears thin after a while and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that’s a real treat.”  It is remarkable to hear Woodward, who is married to arguably one of the most attractive men in American history, say that looks are in a sense overrated. It’s refreshing to hear that someone who married such an attractive man admits that even that fades away and ultimately is not enough to carry a relationship. We are such a visual culture, we think that because a person has a pretty face everything else will in turn be pretty. The truth is, at least for me, what makes a person beautiful has much more to do with what causes the sparkle in their eye, not their inherited beautiful face. It is sometimes very difficult to not buy into the package of what is beautiful, because we see it everywhere all of the time. I do enjoy looking at beautiful people, but there is nothing better than someone who can make you smile, Woodward is right.

When Paul Newman was asked how his marriage survives the temptations of Hollywood, he responded, “Why fool around with hamburger when you have steak at home?”
