| Paul Newman has said that he remembered the instant that he stopped giving autographs: “I was standing at a urinal in Sardi’s, and this guy came though the door with a piece of paper. I thought this was inappropriate. It wasn’t just an invasion of privacy. It was an invasion of purpose.” | |

| In the late '70s I took my mother to Sardi's for dinner. As we were leaving I spotted Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward and a few other people (I think including Paul Zindel) at one of the front tables. I nudged my mother and told her that Paul Newman was there. "Where," she exclaimed. I indicated where he was sitting. Before I could stop her, she walked directly to the table and stood over him studying him like she was selecting something from a deli counter and then, apparently startled to discover how slight of build he was, turned around and in a voice louder than Ethel Merman encouraging Louise to sing out, she declared to the entire restaurant: "He doesn't even have shoulders." I did not step foot inside Sardi's again for 30 years. |

| This sounds like one of those times when I would seriously wonder why it isn't possible for a child to put a parent up for adoption. | |
