Paul Newman was photographed endlessly during his career, those famous blue eyes captivating all who drew their gaze. Amongst them was one of Hollywood’s most in-demand photographers, Milton H. Greene, who was asked to capture images of Paul for Look, Life and People magazines. Here, Milton’s son, Joshua, remembers their friendship and photographic collaboration.
“My father and Paul Newman shared a great love of Westport, Connecticut. Milton’s second home along the Aspetuck River was a mile north of the Newman compound. My father and Paul had similar personalities. They both were handsome, a bit quiet and usually reserved. They would rather view a situation than be the centre of attention.
Paul and Milton also shared a fondness for fishing, the peace of the outdoors and spending time with family. Paul, in particular, loved living in Connecticut and it nurtured his relationship with Joanne as well as his beautiful family.

Lawrence would ask Paul to drag out his camera and then playfully invite the star to show him how to take a photo (left).
As young kids, we used to ride bikes to Paul and Joanne’s. Alas, that was three-and-a-half miles by road, so the best way to get there was by water. We tried various flotation devices: tubes, rafts and boogie boards. The Aspetuck was windy and gnarling in some places. It could get very shallow with lots of rocks. There would be long expanses when the current would take you ever so slowly behind people’s homes.
