Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward had a ‘f*ck shack’

Regarding fidelity in his marriage, Paul Neuman once said, “Why go out for hamburgers when I can have a steak at home?”

Turns out a steak wasn’t all he had at home. The film star, who died in 2008, and his wife Johanna Woodward Apparently she also had her own “fuck hut” in her Beverly Hills mansion. That’s right: The salad dressing man had an entire room dedicated to tossing his salad.

In a posthumous paper due out next week, entitled TThe Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary ManNewman describes his and Woodward’s animal passion for each other. The book was compiled from an oral history project that Newman took up in the 80’s, with that being the sole aim was to be “Honestly.” I’d say he succeeded.

“Joanne gave birth to a sexual being,” an excerpt released in vanity fair read. “We left a trail of lust everywhere. Hotels and public parks and Hertz Rent-A-Cars.” Perhaps in an effort to curb her cravings and avoid getting a public indecency subpoena, Newman came to Woodward’s home one day after designating a room in their house as a pleasure den .

“‘I call it the Fuck Hut,’ she said proudly. It was done with such affection and joy. Even when my kids came over, we would go to the Fuck Hut several nights a week and just be intimate and loud and rough,” Newman wrote. I’m sure this came up a few times in therapy for the kiddos!

Outside of the Fuck Hut, the pair have had their share of problems. “Joanne and I still drive each other crazy in different ways. But all the offenses, the betrayals, the difficulties have kind of evened out over the years,” Newman wrote. Woodward and Newman’s daughter, Claire NeumanShe is quoted in the book as saying, “Eventually they got together.” Sounds like they did, sure.
