Even with Oscar-winning success and a famed marriage to Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward faced the same struggle as all working mothers: balancing home life and career. But at 35, Joanne made a decision. As she later recalled, after having her third daughter, Clea, “I realized that moment was more important. That’s when I really stopped acting. I thought this is my last child, and everything was so special that I didn’t want to miss any of it. I wish I’d been sensible enough to recognize that about each of them.”
