My Take
Barry Newman is, for me, a reminder of how much classic American screen acting got tied to one indelible role. He'll forever be Kowalski tearing across the desert in Vanishing Point, and that film alone earns him a place in my memory. But I appreciate that he was a working actor's actor too, headlining Petrocelli on television and earning Golden Globe and Emmy nominations. Born in Boston in 1930 and a Brandeis graduate, he carried himself with a kind of lean, unfussy seriousness. He passed in 2023, and I think his catalog deserves a fresh look from anyone who only knows the one car chase.
