Paul
Newman! He's always been my fantasy-man....sigh! Sadly, the closest we ever got was "Just a Dream!" Even if you're not a fan
though, you've got to love this story!! Someone I don't know posted this on FB, so I don't know if this is a true story....but God, I hope so!!
"The Long, Hot Summer" (One of his very best films! If you've never seen it, you need to do so... right away!) |
A
Michigan woman and her family were vacationing in a small New England town where
Paul Newman and his family often visited.
One Sunday morning, the woman got up early to take a long walk. After a brisk five-mile hike, she decided to treat herself to a double-dip chocolate ice cream cone.
She hopped in the car, drove to the center of the village and went straight to the combination bakery/ice cream parlor.
There
was only one other patron in the store. Paul
Newman, sitting at the counter having a doughnut and coffee. The
woman's heart skipped a beat as her eyes made contact with those famous
baby-blue eyes.
The actor nodded graciously and the star struck woman smiled demurely.
Pull
yourself together! She chided herself. You're a happily married woman with three
children, you're forty-five years old, not a teenager!
The
clerk filled her order and she took the double-dip chocolate ice cream cone in
one hand and her change in the other. Then she went out the door, avoiding even
a glance in Paul Newman's direction.
When she reached her car, she realized that she had a handful of change but her other hand was empty. Where's my ice cream cone? Did I leave it in the store? Back into the shop she went, expecting to see the cone still in the clerk's hand or in a holder on the counter or something. No ice cream cone was in sight.
With
that, she happened to look over at Paul Newman. His face broke into his familiar
warm friendly grin and he said to the woman,
HOW HYSTERICAL is that? OMGosh-Can you imagine how SHE felt?;>) xo Diana
ReplyDeleteIf that would have been Liz Taylor and me, I would have probably stuck the ice cream cone in my right front pocket instead of the usual change. How fun!!!
