In the mid-1980s, Paul Newman recorded over 100 interviews with his friends, family, film industry associates, and even his ex-wife Jackie Witte, for the purpose of preparing a memoir to be co-penned by Stewart Stern (the screenwriter of “Rebel Without a Cause” and “Rachel, Rachel” among others). For reasons known only to him, Newman abandoned the project and burned the recordings.
