Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman: Head Over Heels, A Love Affair in Words and Pictures

Saturday, April 11, 2026

10:30 AM – 12:30 PM

Cleveland History Center

Join Melissa Newman for a moving and personal presentation drawn from her book Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman: Head Over Heels, A Love Affair in Words and Pictures.

Through a slideshow of photographs and reflections, Newman shares what it was like to grow up with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward—not as icons, but as artists, partners, and parents. She explores their creative lives, enduring partnership, and the making of this deeply personal tribute.

This program includes a Q&A and book signing. Books will be available for purchase onsite.
