JOANNE WOODWARD was an Oscar winner for ‘The Three Faces of Eve’ (1957).
But when this photo was taken her husband - PAUL NEWMAN - had never won one, so, she made one for him and called it ‘Noscar’ (No Oscar).
Here she is presenting it to him at their home in 1958.
Love it.

55 yrs ago this week, 4/17/71, all 4 former Beatles had solo singles in the UK charts:
Paul McCartney: "Another Day,"
Ringo Starr: "It Don’t Come Easy"
John Lennon: "Power To The People"
George Harrison: "My Sweet Lord"
All 4 songs still sound great, 55 yrs later.
Play 'em loud.
