The Last Movie Stars Docuseries

 

The Last Movie Stars

Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman

come center stage for us again.

A documentary so dear,

“The Last Movie Stars” now is here.

 

Sixteen films they made together

in calm days and stormy weather.

An Oscar® was bestowed on each.

Wide stardom both of them did reach.

 

Clips of great movies back on screen.

Many that you may not have seen.

Family, actors, fans and friends

contribute to how the story ends.

 

Six episodes reveal it all.

Warts and talent, and rise and fall.

To Paul and Joanne, we miss you.   

But your movies will pull us through.

 

 Kudos to actor Ethan Hawke

whose fine direction is a shock.

That’s not a snarky smart comment.

I mean it as a compliment.
