Jan. 30, 1958
Los Angeles
Recognize these young movie stars? I read about lots of Hollywood marriages as I go through the old papers–and even more Hollywood divorces. So as Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward celebrate their 50th anniversary, I thought I’d run a few pictures from the early days.

Newman and Woodward–isn’t this a great picture? (Even though it’s unidentified). A reader tells me this is a scene in "From the Terrace."

Hard to believe he’s in his 80s.

Everytime I have a moment to sit down from this crazy world and view one of Paul Newman’s wonderful movies, tears forever flow because my stepfather, David B. Whetstone, was the spittin’ image of Mr. Newman. In the late 60’s, he won a look alike contest in Oklahoma. It was awesome to have a stepfather who looked like a movie star.
Unfortunately, my stepfather was murdered and I am no longer able to see his face. But sometimes I look at photo’s of him and compare them to Mr. Newman’s. Then I watch the movies and feel my stepfather’s spirit. I will miss both of them. They were both important people in this world and my life.
I hope that Ms. Woodward has peace in knowing that Mr. Newman is no longer in pain and that his movies, along with hers continue to play an important part in people’s lives. And maybe someday, my stepfather’s killer or killers will be found and brought to justice.
