Joanne WOODWARD tells Prez that Paul NEWMAN was a big supporter. Prez guessed PAWLENTY

[UTUSN]

But from the sound of PAW's "non-disappointment," PAW also was guessing PAW.

Late acting legend Paul Newman loomed large at Harvey Weinstein’s Connecticut fund-raiser for President Obama this week. The star’s widow, Joanne Woodward, was a guest, and food was provided by Newman’s own Westport restaurant, the Dressing Room. “Joanne was heard telling the president, ‘If Paul were still alive, he’d be here tonight. He was always a huge supporter of yours,’ ” a spy told us. And when asked who he expected would be Mitt Romney’s running mate, rather than dodge the question, Obama wrongly guessed “Tim Pawlenty,” explaining he believed Republicans would go for a safe choice. Also at the shindig were Anne Hathaway, Aaron Sorkin, Olivia Munn and Marlo Thomas.

1. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Joanne . . .

I would buy your husband's products anyway, because they are superior products in EVERY way, but most especially from the heart as the lives that you and Paul have lead so clearly show, so you have just made many of us doubly happy to always pick the Newman's product from our grocery shelves.


Paul & Joanne!

2. Agreed. They were/are inspiring people. The world would be a better place if

there were more Paul Newmans.

3. I think of them as being one of the most authentic manifestations of Liberal principles we know of.

People who did well for themselves and actually shared of their substance in like degree to their own opportunities. Highly developed intellectually and artistically, but also just really real persons too.

I have to admit a little affinity for Joanne Woodward, as my second husband was also called Paul and loved race cars and their engineering in every detail. He even owned a couple of Lotuses in his more successful days. He used to watch Formula 1 and tell me all of the stories associated with it in the greatest detail. As you can guess, I like to talk about my Paul; he was a brilliant interesting man. His mother was a pioneering business woman in this city. Their generations will be missed.
