Biography
American actress who won the Best Actress Oscar in March 1958 for the film "Three Faces of Eve." In addition, she was an Oscar nominee twice for "Rachel-Rachel" and "Summer Wishes/Winter Dreams." Low-key and modest about her exceptional talent, she has an active interest in photography, astrology, palmistry and ESP. Joanne is a veteran stage performer who prefers the stage to films.
While rehearsing for the stage play, "Picnic," she met her future husband, fellow-understudy , Paul Newman. They were married on 1/29/1958, 6:00 PM, Las Vegas, NV and have two children, born in 1961 and 1965. Their marriage is one of the most long lasting in Hollywood. When asked the secret of their contentment, Joanne replies, "Who's contented? We may divorce next year. But we like each other a lot and have great respect for each other. We feel very comfortable together. We don't believe in being together all the time. We spend about half the year together, and have nothing in common." She, for instance, cares nothing about his race cars or politics and he has no interest in her passions, opera and dance. But somehow, they make the relationship work.
Joanne is also a professional screenwriter and director. Her husband directed her in "Rachel, Rachel." The two also work together as political activist for abortion rights, Planned Parenthood and AIDS. They created the Hole-in-the-Wall Camp for terminally ill children and the Scott Newman Center for drug prevention, named after Paul's deceased son by his first wife.
