Paul Newman's true passion was racing, celebrity photographer says

While Paul Newman detailed his steamy sex life with his wife, Joanne Woodward, admitting they had intimate moments in a "F--- Hut," their daughters approved of their parents’ alone time.

In his posthumous memoir, "Paul Newman: The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man," he reflected on his adult playroom with his wife.

Newman discovered in their Beverly Hills home that Woodward had fixed up a separate room off the master bedroom with a "thriftshop double bed" that she "proudly" called the ‘F--- Hut.’"

"It had been done with such affection and delight," Newman said in an excerpt obtained by People magazine. "Even if my kids came over, we'd go into the F--- Hut several nights a week and just be intimate and noisy and ribald."

"I have to admit, I read that, and I was like, ‘Go Mom,’" Soderlund said, according to Vanity Fair.

She admitted that she was unfamiliar with the idea that a separate, intimate room even existed until reading the memoir’s transcripts.

"Oh, I love the f--- hut. I was just like, ‘That’s very funny,’" their other daughter, Melissa, said, according to the media outlet.

"One of my favorite things to find out was just what a vamp my mother was. I mean, I knew they were affectionate. You could sense that that was there all the time. …. I always say, ‘They had two doors on their bedroom. With bolts.’"

The two sisters continued to get candid about the sex room and added that there was a conversation while working with the editor whether they should include the risqué anecdote.

"And then we’re like, ‘Oh, why not?’" Melissa Newman said.

"We all knew that was going to be the headline of everything, and I think it’s awesome. I think I know what room it was."
