So your friend is 17-18 and he hadn't come across Paul Newman before ?
Quite striking. I assume that U.S. channels show plenty of Newman movies
so does your friend not watch anything older unless it is with you ?
I don't remember when was the first time I saw Paul Newman but I had
certainly seen plenty of his movies on Greek television before I was 17.
