"In my next role, I'd like to look a little more sophisticated, sexier, you know," says Paul Newman's daughter (by his first wife, former Actress Jacqueline Witte). Susan would like to leave Hollywood for New York, where she used to play off-off-off-Broadway. "Making movies has nothing to do with acting," she explains. She is serious about being an actress...
