Jennings: Welcome to "World News."

Announcer: The "CBS Evening News with Katie Couric."

Good evening.

Movie fans around the world

are mourning the death of Paul Newman.

Announcer #2: Lester Holt.

Holt: Oscar winner, philanthropist,

racecar driver, family man, Cool Hand.

Auctioneer: Lot number 8, ladies and gentlemen.

Without exaggeration,

the most iconic wristwatch of the 20th century.

Woman: His wife gave her husband a watch

inscribed with a hidden message.

Auctioneer: I think we should start right away.

And I have a commissioned bid at $1 million U.S.

[ Cheers and applause ]

$10 million.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Ethan: So what does CNN think about the cut so far?

Alright. "The great takeaway is that it's clear

we can really build out a satisfying arc

over the six episodes."

Yay!

The watch auction -- they didn't get.

$12.5 million for Liza Gorey.

$13 million.

Ethan: Why do you think they don't get it?

Like, see, to me, it's, you know,

the -- the -- the buzzards feasting on the dead.

You know, like...

There's -- Like, I don't think shaming the people

that are bidding on that watch

is what you're trying to accomplish.

Oh, no, no. That's not what I mean.

Yeah, I mean, I want the watch, too.

I mean, I'd love to have it. So what am I talking about?

You're saying, like,

"This is how much people value him."

Auctioneer: $14 million for Natalie.

Ethan: You can't buy Paul Newman's watch.

It's his watch. What makes it beautiful is him.

The watch is nothing.

$15 million. It's a present from his wife.

For the one and only Paul Newman.

I mean, it's -- it's a private thing

that's now made public in death.

Going once, going twice.

But it was something real.

And it just makes me think, but I don't --

I guess I don't know what I think about it.

So I can't make it clear to the --

It is history now!

$15,500,000.

Well, come on, Ryan, you're my producer.

What do you think? How should it start?

Like we're on a morning show with pianos and violins,

and everybody's happy?

Interviewer: In a business like this,

it is so unusual

to have relationships endure on any level,

and to have a marriage like yours

after all these years, you've got to admit,

pretty incredible.

Melissa: You know, this narrative,

this really, you know, they were beautiful,

they loved each other, it was simple and that's it.

And, you know, happily ever after.

To a certain extent, I feel guilty dismantling that story

because I feel like everybody needs those kinds of heroes,

but at the same time,

I think they deserve more credit than that.

Shalit: American people think of Joanne Woodward

and Paul Newman,

and they think of this perfect marriage.

How far away from that is reality?

It wasn't easy, and a lot of it was ugly

and a lot of it was a slog.

But I always think that, you know, when my dad was --

when my dad was dying,

there were a lot of people in that room,

and they were all people who loved him.

But I always felt that my mom

should have been the only one in the room

that maybe in the end, you know, on the Lonely Island.

I think she was really the only one he wanted.

♪♪

Ethan: The end of their life together is just beautiful.

I mean, she was running a theater company.

She was producing a lot of new work.

She even got him back on Broadway.

This play is called "Our Town."

It was written by Thornton Wilder

and is being produced here by the Westport Country Playhouse.

Name of the town -- Grover's Corner.

Keefe: I picked up the phone in the bedroom and she said,

"Hey, Annie, it's Joanne."

And I said, "Yep. Hi, how's it going?"

She said, "Well, I'll tell you.

Paul just walked in and he said,

'What do you think if I played the stage manager?'"

The day is May 7, 1901, just about dawn.

[ Rooster crows ]

Lissy: He was -- he was afraid --

He was afraid he wasn't gonna be able to remember

his lines in a play anymore.

And it had been a long time.

Yes. She was Julia.

She was Julia Percy before she married Doc Gibbs

in the Congregational Church.

In our town, we like to know the facts.

Woodman: It was the first time he had been on stage

since we did a play called "Baby Want a Kiss"

in 1965, '64.

Interviewer #2: Which ran how long?

Well, I don't know. It was a limited run,

but I mean, I think it may have been more limited.

Clooney: "My problem is that I just

remember an accumulation of events."

Man: Surrounding me here are several of the members

of the Actors Studio Theater.

"I don't really have a sense of a beginning."

Miss Geraldine Page, Mr. Rip Torn...

Another thing, I-I think it gives me an opportunity

to come back to this.

Clooney: "There are people

who have a sense of living a whole life,

but I just have a sense of a series of events

attached together in random ways.

Stick the middle in the beginning

or the beginning at the middle,

really doesn't seem to make either sense or difference."

Emily: Do any human beings ever realize life

while they live it every...every minute?

No.

Saints and poets maybe...

They do some.

Letterman: What about it drew you to the production?

Why did you want to do it after 35 years?

Well, my wife is the artistic director.

And, uh...

[ Laughter ]

...and I have no idea what she puts in my food.

[ Laughter ]

You can't be too careful.

Woman #2: The Westport production moved to Broadway,

where Newman was nominated for a Tony.

But it wasn't the first time he performed in the play.

He starred with Frank Sinatra

in a 1955 musical adaptation for television.

Charles: "When I met Paul and Joanne,

it was at the Actors Studio.

They were high-living, hard-living, young warriors.

They were intoxicated with this new liberty,

this new freedom of emotion

that they were not only being allowed to use,

but encouraged to use to understand the kind of boldness

that they brought to these roles that electrified American acting

and eventually changed the technique

of acting around the world.

We -- We were in a meeting once in the barn

and Joanne excused herself for a couple of minutes

and -- and I didn't hear the door open,

but I turned around and Paul had come in

and the two of them were just standing there holding hands.

And I froze that image in my mind and thought, "God,

if you could ever love somebody for that long that much,

what must it be like?"

It's...

Sorry. It's just...

Donahue: "The truth is that I felt

an enormous rivalry with Paul.

Although I wouldn't admit it then, not even to myself.

I was always uncomfortable

that Paul was so much bigger than I was."

It's legitimate.

I think that there was a time when I wished

that I didn't stay home and take care of babies,

and I wanted to be a big movie star

and all of that.

But, you know, you change.

Janey...

...before, you know, you said I always used to ask you

how your day of school went.

You did.

Do you know something?

You've never asked me how my day went.

Not once.

Woman #3: Joanne, is there any one character

that you feel that you can really relate to personally?

All of them.

I have to, all of them, because they're all parts of me.

I mean, that's the all -- that's the --

the joy and the trauma about being an actor

is that's all you've got is you, you know.

A pianist has a piano and a drummer has the drums

and even the ballet dancer has their toe shoes.

But we have what we are.

And I can leap happily into my coffin and call it a day.

Lie down, close my eyes, shut my mouth

and disappear into eternity.

Easy as that?

Like falling off a log.

Ethan: What I admire in Joanne is just the actor.

When you're not getting all these amazing offers,

how do you build a career through your own work

and through your own energy

and her passion for these television movies

and the way that she would throw herself.

[ Yelling indistinctly ]

And she did a lot of them.

And they're always about serious subject matters,

whether it's women's rights, children and drugs,

race relations.

Oh, that's a shame.

Oh, that's -- Daniel. Daniel.

Woman #4: And she would teach, you know,

she taught an acting class out of their apartment.

And a lot of those actors worked with her.

Dylan McDermott worked with her, Allison Janney.

Janney: Joanne Woodward, I want to thank you

for your encouragement that gave me the confidence

to think I could pursue a career in acting.

Woman #4: She just adored them. She just -- They were her --

They were like, you know, her children.

Linney: I was right out of school when I worked with her.

I played some drug addict.

It was a very overly dramatic,

Hallmark Hall of Fame sort of thing.

But it was my first big job, really, in many ways.

Did you or didn't you? No, I didn't!

Charlie got me high --

And Joanne, who very carefully curated

a group of young artists around her.

She played a politician and in the office --

And I'm so -- I'm so lucky

that I worked with her so early

because she instilled in me things

that I'm realizing even now.

Is that what I used to say?

All the time.

Well, that was fairly pretentious of me.

And I can remember having a conversation with her

that you -- you have to love the arts

more than any of it.

You have to love the people. You have to love the process.

You have to love the ups and the downs

so that when it is really hard, you still feel nourished.

And that comes from your investment outside of yourself

into something bigger than you,

into something that has a long history.

You are a small part of the whole machine

and that that perspective is the starting point.

I did my Broadway debut with Laura.

"The Seagull" in 1991.

Wade: I saw it.

Oh, my God. No.

Yes.

Wow. That's amazing.

Linney: It was really troubled, and I knew it was troubled

and I knew I was in trouble, and I called Joanne.

And I was like, "Joanne, I'm in this production.

I really need help."

So I was in my dressing room and someone knocked on the door

and, like, a face leaned in and said,

"Miss Woodward will meet you in her car in 15 minutes."

So I very quickly get dressed. I got in her car.

She's like, "Dearheart, hello, come in."

I went in the car.

She went, "Well...

there's nothing you can do."

[ Chuckles ]

And I...

I-I looked at her, I was like, "What?"

She's like, "Dearheart, there's nothing you can do."

She's like, "You just have to learn to get through it."

And that was very valuable.

Woodward: Sandy always used to say,

"You cannot -- you can't be an actor

unless you are willing

to make a fool of yourself and fail," you know.

And that's true, of course, of anything.

Joanne always found ways to do things that excited her

because what excited her

wasn't where it was or who it was with even.

It was the work itself. You know, it's the story.

It was the craft, it was the text.

It was -- Whether it was on television

or, you know, certainly on stage,

because it is so purely about the craft when you're on stage.

Joanne Woodward keeps busy on many fronts.

She is an activist, a supporter of dance,

a director and a wife,

and she is, above all, an actress.

And she is currently starring

at Toronto's Royal Alexandra Theatre

in Tennessee Williams' classic "Sweet Bird of Youth."

In "Sweet Bird of Youth,"

Joanne Woodward plays Princess...

Wade: I was walking her home from rehearsal one night

and I was like, "How do you do that?"

And she said, "What do you mean?"

I was like, "Every time, it was brilliant, connected,

full, full emotionally, and so effortless."

And she looked at me and she said,

"It's just because I know I can."

That's like saying, "I'm the shit."

Linney: "I've been working on a piece

that I've wanted to do for a long time.

My mother is now in a nursing home

and she has Alzheimer's disease.

I keep trying to figure out some way

to create this into a film piece.

I haven't gotten it yet, but someday.

Anyway that's what I'm working on now."

-Where's your class? -Um, lecture hall one.

This way. It's this way.

[ Laughs ] Well...

Interviewer #3: Joanne, I understand that this is

a particularly painful role for you to play,

because I know that your mother has Alzheimer's disease.

Was this a difficult thing for you to do?

Yes. Yes, it was, because it did...

force me to examine aspects of my own being

that I don't like to face.

I guess because, you know, there is some reason

to believe that Alzheimer's is hereditary.

And, of course, those of us

who are children of Alzheimer's victims,

I suppose, have that haunting us all the time.

Ethan: You know, her mother had Alzheimer's,

and so she made a TV movie about Alzheimer's

It's a very powerful movie.

Charles: "I don't know what happened to Paul

in the middle years.

I mean, I don't mean to be judgmental,

but I think for a time,

he lost that youthful edge of boldness

and 'I don't care.'

The larger the budget, the more prominent one becomes,

the less able you are to be a rascal.

That little lawbreaker, that truant that you once were,

you're becoming part of the establishment

whether you want to or not.

And as an actor, to begin to close down any of that ganglia,

those wonderful sensory forces that are out there

to accommodate some agreed-upon image

of how you should look,

I mean, it's the worst thing that can happen to anyone.

And it's what I sense was there

And he looked at me like I had slapped him.

And I thought, 'Ooh, Paul didn't really think

he was working in that, did he?'"

Paul: He's not the cool, collected type.

He's frightened. He's, uh, he's an alcoholic.

McCarthy: "By the end of the second week,

I like to have a run-through,

But he -- he didn't have the book out of his hands."

There's -- there's a story about Sidney Lumet

It's -- He basically said to Paul,

"Here's what's --"

McCarthy: "It was a regular performance.

Very good, but no real life in it.

And I let everyone go. And I asked Paul to stay.

And I didn't say it flat out because you don't want

But in essence, what I said was,

'What's the matter? It's not working.'

And he said, 'Oh, it's the lines, Sydney.

I'm having such a goddamn problem with the fucking lines.'

And I said, 'No, Paul, it's not the lines.'

And he blinked sort of very rapidly and said,

'What do you think the problem is?'

one of the most philanthropic actors ever.

Among other things, he built the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp

in rural Connecticut, where kids with leukemia

"He was putting the lights on the tree.

And I said, 'Paul, you were a good father.

We each do what we think is best.'"

"He seemed so relaxed and dear this Christmas.

And there was a vulnerability there

that I had never seen before.

"The world is violent and mercurial.

It will have its way with you.

We are saved only by love.

Being a parent, being a friend."

and found a box of stockings, Christmas stockings,

and, um, he slipped his old compass

inside Joanne's stocking.

So that her first Christmas without him,

she would have a present.
