The official poster for this year's Cannes Film Festival is graced with an image of screen legends Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. Hollywood’s golden couple had a long connection to Cannes,
beginning when their first film together, The
Long Hot Summer (1958), was in competition at the festival and won Newman
Best Actor. The Effect of the Gamma
Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds
(1972) and The Glass Menagerie (1987), both of which were directed by
Newman and stared Woodward, were also in competition with Woodward winning Best
Actress for the former. The festival runs May 15-26 with Steven Spielberg heading the jury. For more info, visit here.

Paul & Joanne
Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward—one of the great Hollywood couples. They
appeared together in ten films while she starred in five that he either directed
or produced. Married for 50 years, he once
said their long lasting marriage was due to "correct amounts of lust and
respect" while Joanne described marriage to Paul as "being married to the most considerate, romantic man." To see them burn up the screen watch their first film together, The Long, Hot Summer (1958). Based on a series of William Faulkner stories, it's a tale of ambition, family secrets, and passion set in the steamy South. What more do you need?
