Newman’s Own Success: His Dual Career Takes Off
Success did not come immediately for the young actor struggling to stake his claim in Hollywood. After starring in a movie so bad that Newman himself took out a full-page ad in a newspaper to apologize to movie-goers, he returned home to his family in New York, where he again began acting on stage and television.

In fact, many of them pay a high price.
