No Celebrity Pulled PRANKS Like Robert Redford

Robert Redford once gift-wrapped a wrecked Porsche for Paul Newman. What Newman sent back weighed eight hundred pounds, and neither man ever mentioned it to the other. This is that prank war, told by both men in their own words, and the stories Hollywood still tells about him. With Paul Newman, Jane Fonda, Scarlett Johansson, Ethan Hawke, Barbra Streisand, Gloria Steinem and Dan Rather, and the stories behind Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Way We Were, Ordinary People, A River Runs Through It and The Horse Whisperer. Whose version do you believe: Redford's bus off a bridge, or Newman's telephone pole at eighty miles an hour? Tell us in the comments, and subscribe for the next screen legend.
