Porter began gathering insider information on Paul Newman back in 1959, following an introduction by Tennessee Williams. He discovered that the private Newman was remarkably different from the public face he revealed to the world and was filled with contradictions. Was he a macho heterosexual or a closeted bisexual; a loyal companion or a heartbreaking, two-timing lover? In his younger days, Newman was sexually voracious and enjoyed relationships with Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Gore Vidal, James Dean, Jacqueline Kennedy, Tennessee Williams, Steve McQueen, Judy Garland, Tom Cruise, Robert Redford, Montgomery Clift, Joan Crawford, Ava Gardner, Lee Remick, Sal Mineo, Lana Turner, Anthony Perkins, and Audrey Hepburn. Porter also puts Newman's long-enduring marriage to Joanne Woodward under the spotlight and examines the lingering mystery of his son's suicide..
