Dark heart of Mr Sundance: A new book claims Hollywood's golden boy Paul Newman was a drunken philanderer. By. Shawn Levy. Updated. BST, 1 May 2. 00. There are few leading men with such iconic status as Paul Newman. His piercing blue eyes, lean physique and laconic smile meant women never stopped swooning over him. The fact that he was famously happily married, to Joanne Woodward, only added to his perfection. But, as a new book about to be published in America reveals, the real Paul Newman was rather more flawed - a heavy drinker who also had a long affair that was an open secret in Hollywood. Perfect match: Despite an affair with journalist Nancy Bacon Paul Newman never left his wife Joanne. When the veteran actor Paul Newman celebrated his golden wedding anniversary last year - just a few months before his death at the age of 8. Joanne Woodward. 'I feel privileged to love that woman,' he said. That I am married to her is the joy of my life.' In a business not renowned for long marriages, theirs was legendary. In old age, he still acted around her like he was hopelessly in love. He would light up when she entered a room, observers noticed, even if he'd been glowering or grumbling or sitting in one of his unreadable silences barely a minute before. He held her hand as they sat at a symphony concert or the ballet. He. surprised her with phone calls, flowers, little gifts. One Christmas. he gave her the printed readout from his electro- cardiogram scan!) He. When she visited him on. Are. you my broad?' He was in his 7. That their marriage had. Paul is an oddity.

But the outside world was forever casting doubt on their relationship. In marrying Newman she had taken a tiger by. He looked like a Greek god, never took a bad picture and she. They seemed utterly mismatched: jumpy, go- go Paul who loved fast. Joanne, with her theatre and ballet and books and dry wit and refined. Southern way with domestic and social matters. Rumours that they were on the verge of breaking up dogged them from very early on after their marriage in 1. They had reached only their third wedding anniversary when a gossip. Newman went. ballistic and denounced the writer as 'a dolt'. But regularly over the years gossipy fan magazines tried to drum up a. Newmans were at odds with each. Newman's Bitter Fights With His Wife') or that Paul was seeking. Is Joanne Too Possessive?'). Bringing home the bacon: Paul began an affair with journalist Nancy Bacon during the filming of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. What fuelled the speculation was that Newman's exceptional appeal to women seemed to increase as he got older. Film stars don't age in the same way as ordinary human beings do, but what was remarkable about him was that he didn't age at all. He always seemed half the age he actually was, or less. In his early 4. 0s - when he made films such as Cool Hand Luke and Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid - he was in ridiculously good shape. He ran, rode a bike and swam virtually every day. He ate sparingly and smartly and, despite his drinking, there wasn't an ounce of fat on him. He had a flat stomach, a small waist, no hips, muscled arms. This appearance of youthful perfection went along with the wisdom, canniness and self awareness of mature age. It was, in all, a devastating combination. Joanne would laugh it off. I've long since adjusted to my husband's status as a superstar and a sex symbol,' she said. The only place I'm a sex symbol is at home, and I'm very lucky that. I'm sexy. I don't worry about women who come on. I know what he thinks of them.' Paul. To suggestions that he might be tempted to stray from. Joanne, he famously replied: 'I have steak at home, so why should I go. The laddish nature of this remark - typical of Newman - did not go down well with his actress wife, who. She's like a classy '6. Bordeaux,' he told an interviewer. No, make it a '5. That's a year that ages well in the bottle.' Then. Will I get in trouble for that?' Joanne.

I'm as sexy as a piece of Canadian bacon,' he squirmed. His. fans disagreed. Once, he was making a speech and began by describing. From the audience a teenager squealed out. Paul! Adopt me!' On another occasion, an empty beer can fell out of his car and he saw a girl pick it up off the ground and kiss it. It was impossible to say which was the bigger burden: being a sex symbol or being married to one. And they were just 1. It. was during the making of Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid in 1. Paul began an affair with Nancy Bacon, a divorced Hollywood. Century Fox had sent to write a piece about him. The rumours and publicity surrounding this liaison nearly scuttled the Newmans' marriage. Bacon's. account was that she and Paul spent several days together on the film's. Mexico and nights in his hotel suite. Back in LA, she claimed. There were periods when the affair. Newman kept coming back until midway through 1. Joanne briefly separated and he decided to repair the damage he'd. There were a few more secret. In time, Bacon said she.

But this strange advertisement in. Haber's story didn't so much squelch rumours as give people. They didn't have to wait long for. Later that year, Bacon said she felt the ad was an.

At det blåser. Egentlig får jeg bestandig lyst å gå til frisøren eller noe når det er sånt vær, men siden jeg holder på å spare til litt langt igjen så er ikke det aktuellt. I tilfelle måtte det bare blitt gjort noe bittelite hos frisøren. Surfet litt rundt på noen hårsider for å se om jeg fant noe som kunne være aktuellt, da jeg fant denne dama: Vet ikke helt hva jeg skal si jeg….

Vi digget jo «Boom Boom Acka- Lacka Lacka boom…Everybody walk the dinosaur» også. For de som har savnet «HEAVY METAL» med Vidar Theisen & The Retrievers.

Pressing for elimination of all the caps, Access Project officials noted that Blue Cross Blue Shield is offering a low- cost young adult plan without any dollar limits.

January 2. 00. 7, and November 2. Chapters 3. 24 and 4. Acts of 2. 00. 6, and chapter 2. Acts of 2. 00. 7).[3]The movement to reform Massachusetts healthcare insurance regulations and market between 2. A six- year- old federal- government waiver as to how Massachusetts administered its Medicaid program was expiring. Unless the waiver was extended or amended, a large number of people would lose Medicaid coverage as the state reverted to Federal regulations.[4]Reforms made in 1. In 2. 00. 0, over 1. Massachusetts residents (about 1. As illustrated in the state report referenced in the previous sentence, the price of insurance that covered about 6. There was a widespread feeling that emergency rooms were misused for non- emergency medical care (the misuse was and is undeniable, not unique to Massachusetts, and continues; the relation to healthcare insurance or lack of it was less clear and apparently did/does not exist). The taxes that fed the state's "free care pool",[6] which covered uninsured emergency room visits as well as uninsured hospital admissions (as well as funding community health centers), consistently underfunded the pool and had to be raised almost annually (with differences made up by appropriations from general revenue). The combination of issues four and five was dubbed by Romney and others the free- rider problem although subsequent to the passage of the law, it is argued[by whom?] that the free- rider problem did not really exist. Almost all people who did not have insurance could not afford it, but since they were still using the good it is considered free riding. Advocacy groups wanted a long list of non- traditionally covered (e. Large employers—even large employers that were self- insured—were increasingly dropping health insurance as an employee benefit and/or restricting it to "full- time employees such that the "take up rate" of healthcare insurance by employees was dropping. However, the drop in take- up rate actually accelerated after passage of the law although there is no demonstrable relationship between the law's passage and the accelerated drop.[8][9]Allegedly because of their lack of health insurance, uninsured Massachusetts residents commonly utilize emergency rooms as a source of primary care.[1. The United States Congress passed the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) in 1. EMTALA requires hospitals and ambulance services to provide care to anyone needing emergency treatment regardless of citizenship, legal status or ability to pay. EMTALA applies to virtually all hospitals in the U. S but includes no provisions for reimbursement. EMTALA is therefore considered an "unfunded safety net program" for patients seeking care at the nation's emergency rooms.[1. As a result of the 1. EMTALA legislation, hospitals across the country faced unpaid bills and mounting expenses to care for the uninsured.[1. In Massachusetts, a pool of over $1 billion in 2. Uncompensated Care Pool (or "free care pool"), was used to partially reimburse hospitals and health centers for these ED expenses. A much larger portion of the pool was used for non- ED hospital care for the uninsured and for other care at Community Health Centers.[1. It was predicted that implementation of the 2. Massachusetts healthcare insurance reform law would result in almost complete elimination of the need for this fund. In 2. 00. 6, an MIT economics professor Jonathan Gruber predicted that the amount of money in the "free care pool" would be sufficient to pay for reform legislation without requiring additional funding or taxes.[1. Reform coalitions[edit]In November 2. Massachusetts health care insurance system to expand coverage. First, the Senate President Robert Travaglini called for a plan to reduce the number of uninsured by half. A few days later, Governor Romney announced that he would propose a plan to cover virtually all the uninsured.[1. At the same time, the ACT (Affordable Care Today) Coalition introduced a bill that expanded Mass. Health (Medicaid and SCHIP) coverage and increased health coverage subsidy programs and required employers to either provide coverage or pay an assessment to the state. The coalition began gathering signatures to place their proposal on the ballot in November 2. Mass. ACT ballot proposal. The Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation sponsored a study, "Roadmap to Coverage," to expand coverage to everyone in the Commonwealth.[1. Attention focused on the House when then- Massachusetts House Speaker Salvatore Di. Masi, speaking at a Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation Roadmap To Coverage forum in October 2. House by the end of the session. At the forum, the Foundation issued a series of reports on reform options, all of which included an individual mandate. At the end of the month, the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing approved a reform proposal crafted by House Speaker Di. Masi, Committee co- chair Patricia Walrath, and other House members.[1. The state faced pressure from the federal government to make changes to the federal waiver that allows the state to operate an expanded Medicaid program. Under the existing waiver, the state was receiving $3. The free care pool had to be restructured so that individuals, rather than institutions, received the funding.[1. Then- U. S. Senator Edward Kennedy (D- MA) made a special effort to broker a compromise between the Republican Governor and the Democratic State Legislature.[citation needed]Legislation[edit]In Fall 2. House and Senate each passed health care insurance reform bills. The legislature made a number of changes to Governor Romney's original proposal, including expanding Mass. Health (Medicaid and SCHIP) coverage to low- income children and restoring funding for public health programs. The most controversial change was the addition of a provision which requires firms with 1. This contribution, initially $2. On April 1. 2, 2. Governor Romney signed the health legislation.[2. He vetoed eight sections of the health care legislation, including the controversial employer assessment.[2. He vetoed provisions providing dental benefits to poor residents on the Medicaid program, and providing health coverage to senior and disabled legal immigrants not eligible for federal Medicaid.[2. The legislature promptly overrode six of the eight gubernatorial section vetoes, on May 4, 2. June 2. 00. 6 had overridden the remaining two.[2. Statute[edit]The enacted statute, Chapter 5. Acts of 2. 00. 6, established a system to require individuals, with a few exceptions, to obtain health insurance.[2. Chapter 5. 8 had several key provisions: the creation of the Health Connector; the establishment of the subsidized Commonwealth Care Health Insurance Program; the employer Fair Share Contribution and Free Rider Surcharge; and a requirement that each individual must show evidence of coverage on their income tax return or face a tax penalty, unless coverage was deemed unaffordable by the Health Connector.[2. The statute expanded Mass. Health (Medicaid and SCHIP) coverage for children of low income parents and restores Mass. Health benefits like dental care and eyeglasses. The legislation included a merger of the individual (non- group) insurance market into the small group market to allow individuals to get lower group insurance rates. The process of merging the two markets also froze the market for such insurance for a short period in April–May 2. Eventually the state's non- partisan insurance board ruled that the government did not have the actuarial data or right to freeze the premiums. Five of the non- profit insurers then settled for slightly lower premium increases than they had initially requested rather than litigate further. The sixth litigated and won the right to implement all its original increases retroactively. Payment rates were supposed to be increased to hospitals and physicians under the statute but that has not happened. The statute also formed a Health Care Quality and Cost Council to issue quality standards and publicize provider performance.[2. Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority[edit]The Health Connector is designed as a clearinghouse for insurance plans and payments.
