Paul Newman wasn't in 'Some Like it Hot'

I just read the June 16 issue of the Sunday New Haven Register which includes a section called "The 125 Most Influential People in Connecticut History." One piece was written by Ed Stannard about the actor Paul Newman. Mr. Stannard writes that Mr. Newman was in the movie called “Some Like It Hot” and dressed as a women in the picture. I must suggest to Mr. Stannard that he was not in that movie. He was in “The Long, Hot Summer,” and “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” I wonder what Mr. Newman would say if he was alive to read that piece about him. He would probably laugh, but his fans do not think it is funny. If you are writing about a person, which I have done in the past, get your stories straight. Let someone else read them to make sure everything is accurate.

The actors in Some Like it Hot were Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and George Raft. Ms. Hays is correct in her assertion that Paul Newman was not in this movie. Facts should be checked prior to going to press.
