Paul Newman (1925-2008) was a Hollywood actor and sex symbol, from the 1960s and early 1970s. He was married to Joanne Woodward for 50 years.
On this blog at the end of 2009 he was voted the eighth most gorgeous man in the world – over a year after he died at age 83!
His best films (those receiving an IMDb rating of at least 8.0):
- 1958: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
- 1961: The Hustler
- 1967: Cool Hand Luke
- 1969: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
- 1973: The Sting
The first he did with Elizabeth Taylor, the last two with Robert Redford, both Hollywood sex symbols in their own right. He is known for playing anti-heroes. He was acting almost right up to the end of his life.
His name was put up for an Oscar for best actor eight times, but only won once, for “The Color of Money” in 1987. Some say his acting got better with age – the Oscar nominations seem to bear that out.
He was born the son of a Cleveland shopkeeper. Both sides of his family come from Eastern Europe (Slovakia, Hungary, Poland). Like his father but unlike his mother he is Jewish.
In the Second World War he wanted to be a pilot and fly planes but his colour blindness prevented him. He almost fought in the battle of Okinawa but the pilot of his plane got an ear infection and they stayed back. Everyone else in their detail died in battle.
After the war he went into acting, at first on Broadway and television and then in Hollywood films. He did terribly in his first film, “The Silver Chalice” (1954), but then did well two years later in “Somebody Up There Likes Me” (1956) – a part he got through the death of James Dean. Soon he was starring opposite Elizabeth Taylor. His acting was not as good as, say, Marlon Brando’s, but his good looks made up for it.
In 1958 he starred with Joanne Woodward in “The Long Hot Summer”. That year he divorced his first wife of nine years and married Woodward. He has three children by each wife. In 1960 he and Woodward moved to Connecticut.
In 1978 his only son died of a drug overdose at age 28.
Newman was a race car driver. He came in second at Le Mans in 1979.
He used to make salad dressing as a Christmas gift. It caught on and in 1982 he started selling it under the brand name Newman’s Own. He later branched out into spaghetti sauce and popcorn. Since Newman was not interested in getting rich, he gave the profits to charity – education, health, the environment, disaster relief, etc. He joked that Newman’s Own brought in more money than his acting ever did (true).
In 1988 he started the Hole in the Wall Gang, a free summer camp in Connecticut, between New York and Boston, for children who are dying or who have spent a long time in the hospital.

Well, apparently, some people think it’s only “natural” for black women, if for them.
I don’t really have much, if any experience with people of races other than mine, but I’d say I am mostly attracted to men who fall into – how should I define it?- middle category. Darker whites (Caucasians), lighter black men (though darker is also good), Latino men, Native American men… I am not sure if I explained this correctly. For example, the most gorgeous famous men for me is Johnny Depp. Some women on this site- but not elsewhere- consider him to be “white”. I always thought he was mixed. But in any case, he’s not as white or pale like a Scandinavian man.
I am not into pale, light skinned white guys, blond hair or blue eyes. I like dark eyes and dark hair, and skin that is not too light (pale) like some- but not all- white men have. Also, I like thick hair and, eh, to quote Abagond, “the darker and thicker the better”, the hair that looks like there’s more of it. If they don’t cut it way too short, black men’s hair fall into this category.
So when it comes to judging man’s appearance, I go for my preferences, not race. In my mind, a man is never “good looking for a black guy”, but I must admit it’s sometimes: “good looking for a blond, blue eyed guy”. That’s not something I am proud of thinking: I hate objectifying. But it’s stronger than me, I seem to simply have these preferences. Since I was 13 or something.
On the other hand, you must understand that general “most gorgeous men list” would be made with men of all races. Paul Newman would not make my top 10 list, but enough women voted for him.
Another thing why I said black men poll would be interesting is because Abagond will separate voters based on race. I am really interested to see the differences of “types” of black men (for example, what kind of black men white women like, and what kind black women like, etc).

Leaveumthinking, I find black men to be the least attractive men…and I’m not alone in my thinking. The vast majority of white, Asian, and Hispanic women are not attracted to blk men on average.

However, You’re a black woman, so it’s natural for you to feel most attracted to blk men. For a white women too feel naturally attracted to blk men is disturbing. These white women either fall into two catorgies: 1) Ghetto white girls with no education. 2) Overweight, ugly white women who couldn’t get a wm if there life depended on it.

I sometimes forget the different variety that I saw. Most of the time when I see white people now, I just see them on television.

Don’t worry, you didn’t sound ignorant! I just wanted to explain, because it looks like my idea of a white person might not be the same as other people’s here (because of cultural differences, I guess- nothing wrong with it). I think I already said elsewhere- I fail to see the difference between “white” and “Caucasian”, that’s why to me, “white” can mean both Scandinavian and South Asian (Indian) person.
Also, keep in mind that white people you see on TV, especially white celebrities, are not “average” white people. They are “better looking” according to the modern standards, which means they are probably skinnier than the most white people, generally lighter skinned, but tanned. Also, there are many blue or green eyed celebrities. Most of the white people don’t share these features.
An average white (Caucasian) person doesn’t look like your average Englishman, but is darker. Most common hair colour for Caucasian people is dark brown, eye colour- brown, and skin colour- olive. That’s why blue (and green) eyes are considered to be attractive- they are rare. Not as rare as in non-white people, but rare enough to be considered exotic.

Black men look alike because you are ignorant. Let me educate you. Black people are beautiful people who come in many different skin tones ranging from very light (almost pale) , all shades of brown to almost jet black. Our hair textures differ. Some are tightly coiled, or loosely coiled, curly, wavy and few even have straight hair. Our facial features even are not all the same. If you stopped being racist for second and actually looked at us as individuals you would know that.
Also, many blk men are anti-intellectual.
If black men are so dumb, why are you wasting time reading a blog written by a BLACK MAN?

You are racist to feel a HUMAN can’t find other HUMAN attractive regardless of race. I find black men on average handsome and sexy. So me being a straight black woman it is natural for me to find sexy men attractive.
“There is a racial hierarchy in this world and black men are at the bottom of that list. White men are at the top”

I didn’t say bm didn’t find any BW sexy. I said that BM don’t worship BW like BW worship BM. BM, when given the chance, date outside their race more often than bw.
2) “If black men are so dumb, why are you wasting time reading a blog written by a BLACK MAN?”
Well, having a blog doesn’t make someone an intellectual. I didn’t say all BM were dumb, but Compared to other races of men, BM are anti-intellectual. Out of all Americans, BM are the least college educated.
3) “You are racist to feel a HUMAN can’t find other HUMAN attractive regardless of race. I find black men on average handsome and sexy.”
You can fins someone of another race good looking but for a WW to prefer a bm is self-hatred. Yes, I maybe a racist, but a racist only means that you love your own race. You’re a racist as well. Most people, regardless of race are average looking. It just so happens that BM are below average looking. Also, when I say BM, I mean true BM, not someone like Boris Kodjoe, Shemar Moore or Will Demps who are really less than 50 percent black. I’m talking about Africans or bm with at least 80% African DNA.
4) “Black men look alike because you are ignorant. Let me educate you. Black people are beautiful people who come in many different skin tones ranging from very light (almost pale) , all shades of brown to almost jet black. Our hair textures differ. Some are tightly coiled, or loosely coiled, curly, wavy and few even have straight hair”
The black people that come in different skin tones, do so because of the large percentage of European ancestry. You don’t see many true Africans with a diverse range of looks. Also, black hair texture differs based on race mixing. No true Africans have wavy hair. True Africans don’t have a diverse range of looks….only blk Americans do because of race mixing.
On the other hand, white people are very diverse in their looks. Europeans have skin color ranging “from pink or peaches-and-cream to a light brown. Whites have gray, green, brown, blue, hazel eyes. Europeans have thick wavy, curly hair and some have thin straight hair. Europeans have black, brown, red, and blond hair
We have Nordic whites with blond hair, small nose and blue eyes. The Mediterranean whites: dark hair, dark eyes, roman noses and olive complexion. Celtic peoples have red hair. East Baltic whites are broad-faced, with heavy, massive under-jaw, flat, rather broad, short nose with low bridge; stiff, light (ash-blond) hair; light (gray or whitish blue) eyes, standing out; light skin with a gray undertone.
No other race of people has such a wide range of looks as whites.

– All black people look alike, because it’s more rare for them to have blue eyes than for Caucasians.

The black people that come in different skin tones, do so because of the large percentage of European ancestry.
Your ignorance is telling. Blacks come in many shades and not necessarily due to admixture. The same goes for facial features and hair textures. Oh, not all are celebrities either, so why use these examples? The whites who are ‘light brown’, probably have some admixture other than ‘caucasian’ in them. Ever hear of the Moors for example, in Spain and Sicily? As for admixture, what of it? You obviously still see them as black. To say that this makes them better looking is doubly racist!

Africans do not have a wide range of looks and that’s a fact. Also, blk men are less educated than other races of men. Blk men commit the vast majority of violent crimes in all major cities. My statements are not up for dispute. Almost 1/3 of blk men have a criminal record. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics 2004 report (released May 2006), black men commit 54 percent of the homicides in America even though they constitute only 6 percent of the population.

…You really can’t afford to be this misinformed. It’s kind of sad.

The Moors ruled in Spain from 711 to 1492, more than enough
time to significantly affect the gene pool as DNA tests have proven.
Contrary to your “facts”, African people are diverse in their looks. Have you ever seen photographs of ethnic groups such as Nubians, Khoisans, Zulus to name a few.

What I said is the absolute truth and nobody has proven me wrong.
Keep thinking like that and maybe you’ll convince yourself.
The moors invaded southern Europe so long ago that their DNA would barley register with modern Italians, Spanish, Portuguese. You guys just want to call me names instead of dealing with reality.
That’s funny. Why do Northern Italians refer to Southern ones, particularly Sicilians as ‘Africans’? Why do the Northern Italians want to separate from the South? Why are the Portuguese referred to as the n*****s of Europe. Well maybe they have retained certain physical characteristics as their distant African forebears, hence the ‘light brown’ skin and ‘curly hair you see in the wide varieties among ‘whites’.
An individual black male is seven times more likely to commit murder than an individual white male. In major cities black men commit about 80-90 percent of all the violent crimes.
If these stats are true, then whats that got do do with what men women are attracted to and Paul Newman in particular? Perhaps these self-hating white women are attracted to this stereotype. In fact you sound like a case of protesting to much. Don’t torture yourself. Go for it. According to you there is an over abundance of these types of men for you to choose from! As an added bonus, since many of them are in prison, at least you will know where they are at night. The only thing you will have to worry about is your newly found love picking up the soap in the shower or having a cell mate called Moose who nicknames your ‘beau’ Sweet cheeks’

I just want to say that I’m 27 and I think that Paul Newman is the sexiest man ever! He is so much better looking than the so called “good looking guys” of my generation like Zac Efron, Justin Bebier, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise..etc!
They definitely do not make guys that look like this anymore!!!

generally speaking 25% of the white population have blue eyes so they are not rare but green are as only 2% of the worlds population have naturally occurring green eyes. personally I’ve always thought Mr Newman was beautiful but more how he carried himself and treated people not soley based on looks. his beloved widow Joanne Woodward once remarked that looks fade as you age and sexiness wears thin but if you can make someone laugh that is a treat and Paul obviously made her laugh very often.
