misotaro

I had a patient who was exceeding good looking and hung around the Hollywood scene in the fifties and 60s.  He told some interesting stories about Marilyn Monroe as he was a good friend of hers near the end.  He claimed to have been in her home the day she died and left at her request as she was expecting Bobby Kennedy.  He returned to the house in the early morning hours and was meet by the maid who told him that she was dead.  
In any case, he had nothing good to say about Paul Newman.  HE said that of all the Hollywood stars he had met and bedded, that Paul Newman was the most arrogant and least considerate.  Still, I would have given an arrogant and inconsiderate young Newman a tumble had I had the opportunity.  

I knew a man in NYC back in tbe 90's who was Paul Newman's college roommate and best man at his wedding to his first wife. This man became a minor actor and even less celebrated playwright for some off Broadway plays.
But he was a great racounteur in his 70"s when I met him and had some great stories of Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward and others in their circles in New York in the 50's and 60's before Newman went Hollywood. 
This man was also gay but never had a toss in the sack with Paul (that he would admit to to me). It was conceivable though as he had been a pretty good looking guy in his earlier days from the portraits of him that hung in his apartment in the West Village. 
I'll have to get the book.

This man I met in New York who was Paul Newman's best man once escorted Marilyn Monroe to the Stage Actors Guild's annual gala dinner in NYC. She wasn't officially dating anyone at the time (1961) I think and needed a date. Unofficially she was seeing JFK who then passed her off to Bobby just before she died. At least that is what I surmised.
