Ever heard of the woman who first captured the heart of the legendary Paul Newman? Before Joanne Woodward, there was Jacqueline ‘Jackie’ Witte, a woman whose life, though intertwined with Hollywood royalty, held its own distinct narrative of independence and quiet dignity.
Jacqueline Emily Witte, often known as Jackie Witte, was born on September 15, 1929, in Illinois. Before the dazzling lights of Hollywood beckoned Paul Newman, before he became the household name synonymous with captivating blue eyes and unparalleled talent, there was a young Jackie, an aspiring actress and college student, who shared a chapter of her life with the future icon. They met, fell in love, and on December 27, 1949, in Cleveland, Ohio, they embarked on a marriage that would last nine years, a period marked by both personal joys and the burgeoning shadow of Newman's rising stardom. Paul had just returned home from serving in the Navy during World War II when they married.
