   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.
