Culture Connection: “Head Over Heels: Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman” with Melissa Newman

Join us for our conversation with authors Melissa Newman and Foster Hirsch, moderated by filmmaker/producer Taylor Purdee!

Melissa Newman’s new book, “Head Over Heels: Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman: A Love Affair in Words and Pictures” is an invitation into the private world of one of America's most iconic couples. Her parents' love story is the stuff of Hollywood legend, and the images that appear in her book—many rare and some never before published—were taken by some of history’s most celebrated photographers, including Richard Avedon, Bruce Davidson, Milton H. Greene, John R. Hamilton, Gordon Parks, Lawrence Schiller, and many others.
