Alan - Oddly enough I held a door open for Newman myself... Guess that's when you know you're a star... People hold doors open for you. Or else we're just polite.
This was at the Belasco Theatre... Years ago now... Forget what the play was. I remember being surprised by my being a little taller than he. I always thought movie stars were giants! And, in fact, some of them were...

One day about 20 years ago I was walking into the LA airport (LAX for locals) and Newman was coming out. I opened the door for him and we looked into each other's eyes. I've been around almost 60 years now - and have looked at my share of eyeballs - And I got to share with you guys - I have never seen blue eyes like that. Like they were digitally enhanced. Like they glowed against the daylight. Like he was some kind of blessed / extraterrestrial god-child. And I suppose he was! Still gives me chills to think of that moment.
