Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward graced the space I was in
Melissa talks about her dad - Paul Newman
I heard today that Paul's daughter said that her father said "It was a privilege to be here"
Having migrated from my home state of Indiana, in 1972 to New England, after a year in Sturbridge, Massachusetts and one summer in Westerly, Rhode Island, I moved to Portsmouth, Rhode Island in Newport County.
I don't remember the year. It was a long time ago. Somehow developing a love for dance from an upbringing that considered dance a sin, I was attending Newport's Rogers High School auditorium for a summer dance program. Standing in the "lobby" which was more like a large hallway, I noticed Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward walking by me. Just walking by me. They were headed into the auditorium. Joanne Woodward was there to support dance.
It was a memorable moment. I was born on the edge of a small unremarkable Indiana town of Huntington in my parent's bedroom. And moved to this beautiful seaside area of Rhode Island. And there Paul Newman was. It was sort of special. And he merely walked by me. But it was special. I haven't seen much of Paul_Newman's movies or Joanne Woodward's either. But I will now. I'll search them out.

Mr. and Mrs. Bridges
I did see Mr. and Mrs. Bridges. Even though I got a late start with movies (because they were forbidden in my upbringing also), I see a lot of movies. But not many stay with me. This one always did.
