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

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

She played a politician

Well...

Butter and sugar

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.

Ethan: You know,
I did my first --

I did my Broadway debut
with Laura.

"The Seagull" in 1991.

Wade: I saw it.

Oh, my God. No.

Really?

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

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

the more prominent one becomes,

the less able
you are to be a rascal.

That little lawbreaker,
that truant that you once were,

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

those wonderful sensory forces
that are out there

none is more poignant
than the Scott Newman Center,

The cost of a joint

is about the same
as a school lunch.

But the effects
are unpredictable

and they are uncontrollable.

My biggest involvement is
with the Scott Newman Center,

which is the center
we established for drug abuse

in California,

and also with the Hole

Woman #9: The camp is designed

to offer
desperately ill children

a camping experience.

Stahl: After his son died,
Newman became philanthropic,

one of the most
philanthropic actors ever.

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

because if
I don't whoop you now,

I'm gonna whoop you
next month in Dallas.

In Houston, there's nothing
coming up in Dallas.

Houston, Dallas.
And if not then,

then the month
after that in New Orleans.

Oh, yeah?
What makes you so sure?

Hey. I'm back.

[ Balls clatter ]

Ethan: When I was a kid,
I watched it.

He says,
"I'm back" at the end.

But he didn't win.

No, no, he's back.
He's just in the game.

That's what --
It doesn't matter.

I'll see you in Dallas
next week.

I'll see you in Cleveland
the week after.

Doesn't matter.

And the winner is...

The winner is Paul Newman.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Announcer #4:
Ladies and gentlemen,

accepting the award
for Paul Newman,

the president of the Academy

of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences,

Mr. Robert Wise.

Martin Scorsese
finally won

Paul Newman his Oscar.

He set out to make
a hand-tailored suit,

and he did it.

But the genius of
the whole hustle

is Paul didn't even go
and he didn't even care.

Paul -- I'm sure
he's listening --

is not here tonight.

And this award, Paul,
is long overdue.

The final play, he's not there.

He just dumped it.

Thank you, my dear.
That's right.

Linklater: I love that he wasn't
at the Oscars that year.

That really is him taking
the money out of his pocket

and putting it back
in Tom Cruise's pocket.

Like him saying,
"I didn't do it for that."

Ethan: This is something
from his -- in his transcript

that I really like.

He says,
"The best races I drive

are the ones where I spin out
early and lose position."

Clooney: "The best races I drive
are the ones

where I spin out early
and lose positions and go back

and I meticulously start
knocking them off one by one.

'Cause if you don't give a shit,
there's nothing at stake.

Nothing to take,
nothing to lose."

"Nothing to lose."
"You just go."

"Your mind is free."

"Your mind is free.
Everything is free."

"Muscles are loose."

And it all becomes
a lark."

And I love that.

I love that, too.

-Wow.
-Amazing.

D'Onofrio:
"Paul has a natural grace

that will put him at ease
on Skid Row or death row

or in the front row
in the Vatican.

I would like to have Paul for
President, Secretary of State,

any public office
that is sufficiently in court."

I was crazy then!

I am crazy now.

D'Onofrio: "This is a business

where others
of his accomplishment

cover themselves

with the honey
of self-importance,

as though they just come back
from the hive.

But never Paul.

He's a modest man,
a professional man."

I built bridges
and hospitals and roads.

Letterman: I remember when
he would be on the show.

You would think, "Oh, you know
who's on the show today?

Jesus Christ is coming."

"Did we send a car
to the hotel?"

"No.
He's getting here on his own."

It was honestly...

The renewing of the vows.

What prompted that and what
was that ceremony like?

Nell:
I don't know why they did it.

They were the first people
I ever heard of doing that.

I'd never known anybody
renew their vows.

Clooney:
"Happiness in marriage

is not something
that just happens.

A good marriage
must be created."

Linney: "A good marriage
must be created."

-"It is standing together."
-"It is standing together."

-"Facing the world."
-"Facing the world."

Linney: "It is not looking
for perfection in each other.

It is cultivating flexibility
and a sense of unity."

Clooney: "Cultivating
flexibility, patience...

Just doing things
for each other,

not in the attitude
of duty or sacrifice,

but in the spirit of joy."

Linney: "It is having the
capacity to forgive and forget.

It is finding room
for the things of the spirit.

It is a common search."

Clooney: "It is a common search
for the good and the beautiful.

It is not only marrying
the right partner,

it's being the right partner."

Linney:
"It is being the right partner."

Allen: "The renewal vows
was the sweetest thing.

I wept.

I made a complete fool
of myself.

But...they just looked
so happy.

They both did, really."

McCarthy: "All the girls got up
and Joanne

and they all sang to him.

It couldn't have been
more moving or more charming.

And I was sitting there next to
Paul and Joanne started to sing,

and I don't have to tell you
what his face is like about her.

And -- and he had his napkin
and he leaned forward like this,

watching her.

And when it all got too much,

he just sat back and draped
a napkin over his head.

That's Paul, isn't it?"

Walter: What is in this box
once belonged to my mother.

In time, you'll
give it to your daughter.

Clea: I was getting married,

and I remember having
a conversation with my parents.

I remember them looking at me
and, you know, saying

basically, like, "When
the relationship is right,

there will be a time where you
wake up in the morning one day

and you look at this person
sleeping next to you

and you realize that you are
committed, no matter what.

Like, this is your person."

It doesn't mean
that you won't get angry,

that you won't storm off,
that you won't --

But ultimately you're in it
for the long haul and, you know,

you just have to be willing
to work really hard at it.

And there are gonna be times
when it's just frickin' awful.

But ultimately, it will be
your greatest success.

I mean, that's, like, one of the
greatest successes in your life

to have somebody
who goes through life with you

and understands all your foibles
and forgives you

and tolerates
all of your silliness

and then takes incredible joy
in your successes.

Poltermann: "Do you love Paul
now for the same reasons

that you did
when you first met him?"

Linney: "Oh, I don't think
I loved him.

I don't think I knew
what that word meant.

I was enamored of him.
I was in lust with him.

Loved him?

I don't know.

I don't think I understood
the use of that word,

nor did he.

I think we saw two entirely
different images of each other.

He thought I was very much
in control,

crazed but creative

none of which I felt

And I thought of him
as being heroic, smart,
