A turn of seasons - September 27, 2008

Go back and look at "The Long Hot Summer," the movie a very young Paul Newman made with his future wife, Joanne Woodward, in 1958 and based on various works of William Faulkner. I don't mean just watch it; I mean really look at it. Look at the way Newman and Woodward dance around each other. Sinuous, beautiful, hot enough to raise blisters. Then look at Newman's scenes with the by-then-legendary Orson Welles. Same dancer's grace. Same heat. But this time ugly as sin itself. I'm no actor, but I bet that wasn't easy. Paul Newman died today, at his home in Westport, Conn. He was 83. They won't make another because they don't know how.
