Bestselling author A. E. Hotchner's intimate account of his
53-year friendship with his pal Paul Newman.
A. E. Hotchner first met Paul Newman in 1955 when the virtually
unknown actor assumed the lead role in Hotchner’s first television
play, based on an Ernest Hemingway story. The project elevated both
men from relative obscurity to recognition and began a close and
trusted friendship that lasted until Newman’s death in 2008.
In Paul and Me, Hotchner depicts a complicated, unpredictable,
fun-loving, talented man, and takes the reader along on their
adventures. The pair traveled extensively, skippered a succession
of bizarre boats, confounded the business world, scored triumphs on
the stage, and sustained their friendship through good times and
bad. Most notably, they started Newman’s Own as a prank and
watched it morph into a major enterprise that so far has donated
all its $300 million in profit to charities including the Hole in
the Wall Camps worldwide, dedicated to helping thousands of
children with life-threatening illnesses.
Paul and Me, complete with personal photographs, is the story of
a freewheeling friendship and a tribute to the acclaimed actor who
gave to the world as much as the world gave him.
