"Redford and Newman: Last Call", (approx. 9000 words). The two great American actors meet on the night one year prior to Newman's death of lung cancer. They exchange barbs, sentimentality and wordless commentary over a final evening of cocktails and dinner, much as they did onscreen, though in this case, unedited and in real life. They reminisce about their lifelong friendship, their careers, their off-screen lives, their tragic shared history, their regrets and the women they never had. A discreet, lovely bartender complements the mood of intimacy.
