#11: Joanne’s Oscar Win

In 1958, Joanne Woodward won the Academy Award for Best Actress for The Three Faces of Eve, cementing her status as a formidable talent. Her husband, Paul Newman, still chased Oscar gold at the time despite delivering critically acclaimed performances.

While deeply proud of Woodward’s achievement, Newman’s competitive nature made the Oscar gap between them sting. He endured multiple nominations without a win, watching his wife take home the industry’s highest honor first. But the true gentleman he was, he was only very happy and proud of his wife.
