The One Non-Fan
Paul Newman was already a very notable celebrity before he accepted this role. When he went to West Virginia to prepare for the role, he was often recognized. Actually, only one person seemed to not recognize him. A nun at St. Joe High School had no idea who he was and asked him what he did for work when he picked up a cast-mate’s sister.

A Unique Criminal Offense
In case you need a reminder, Cool Hand Luke gets arrested after getting drunk one night and cuts off the heads of parking meters. It was a weird crime for sure, but it served to impress gang members who were also in prison. They state in the movie they have never met anyone that had done something so crazy. The crime is believed to make viewers like Luke more and sets up the anti-establishment theme.
