NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Paul Newman, the Academy-Award winning superstar who personified cool as an activist, race car driver, popcorn impresario and the anti-hero of such films as "Hud," "Cool Hand Luke" and "The Color of Money," has died. He was 83.
Newman died Friday after a long battle with cancer at his farmhouse near Westport, publicist Jeff Sanderson said. He was surrounded by his family (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,429176,00.html#) and close friends.
In May, Newman he had dropped plans to direct a fall production of "Of Mice and Men," citing unspecified health issues.
In August, he finished chemotherapy and told his family he wanted to die at home (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,429176,00.html#). He was given only weeks to live.

He got his start in theater and on television during the 1950s, and went on to become one of the world's most enduring and popular film stars, a legend held in awe by his peers.
He was nominated for Oscars 10 times, winning one regular award for "The Color of Money" and two honorary ones, and had major roles in more than 50 motion pictures, including "Exodus," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Verdict," "The Sting" and "Absence of Malice."

Newman worked with some of the greatest directors of the past half century, from Alfred Hitchcock and John Huston to Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese and the Coen brothers. His co-stars included Elizabeth Taylor, Lauren Bacall, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and, most famously, Robert Redford, his sidekick in "Butch Cassidy" and "The Sting."
He sometimes teamed with his wife (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,429176,00.html#) and fellow Oscar winner, Joanne Woodward, with whom he had one of Hollywood's rare long-term marriages. "I have steak at home, why go out for hamburger?" Newman told Playboy magazine when asked if he was tempted to stray. They wed in 1958, around the same time they both appeared in "The Long Hot Summer," and Newman directed her in several films, including "Rachel, Rachel" and "The Glass Menagerie."

A great actor, and an amazing humanitarian. His legacy lives in in his huge body of work, and in the charitable work of Newman's Own.

Mr and Mrs. Paul Newman in happier times. :(

:rip:

A legendary actor

That's too bad.:( Atleast we can say he had a full life, and he certainly seemed to enjoy every second of it. R.I.P. Mr. Newman!!!

I love his salad dressing and his coffee is amazing! He will be missed. :(

As a hockey fan, I'll always remember his performance in 'Slapshot.'

RIP Paul Newman.

My first memories of him being Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, and my favorite performance being in The Verdict (for which he should have won an Oscar).

I was always surprised that he was older than I thought.

He will be missed.

:rip: Mr. Newman, you are a legend and always will be. My heart and prayers go out to his wife and family.

Wow, rip :(

I didnt even know he was sick...Im shocked

Big loss:crybaby:


They dont have actors in Hollywood like him anymore, and they sure as hell dont make movies like the ones he was in.

:( I knew he was sick for some time but he was someone I don't think anyone ever truly expected to die. He was one of the last remaining legends in Hollywood and he kept a successful career going until his 80's, and he was such a wonderful humanitarian. Some years back, I went through a classic Hollywood obsession and he was one of my faves. He will be missed but not forgotten.

RIP "Cool Hand Luke". You will be missed.

R.I.P.- Paul Newman.:( :rip:

Paul was one of my favorite actors. He was in so many great movies. I think his passing may very well be one of the biggest blows to Hollywood over the last decade. This is a man who cannot be replaced. :rip:

I agree. This and Marlon Brando's passing a few years back. I think both of those deaths were so shocking because unlike a lot of Old Hollywood, they both remained working and relevant almost right to the very end, as opposed to someone who'd been in semi-retirement for thirty years.

How sad. I didn't even know he was sick. All the greats are going. Paul Newman was one of the most handsome men on earth back in the day.

Los Angeles (E! Online) - With his passing on Friday, Paul Newman leaves behind an inspirational, 83-year legacy of talent, love and compassion. This morning family, friends and colleagues are paying tribute to the prolific film star, racecar aficionado and passionate philanthropist.


"He set the bar too high for the rest of us. Not just actors, but all of us." – George Clooney

"He was my hero." – Julia Roberts

"There is a point where feelings go beyond words. I have lost a real friend. My life — and this country — is better for his being in it." – Robert Redford

"I was blessed to have known him. The world is better because of him. Sometimes God makes perfect people and Paul Newman was one of them." – Sally Field, his costar in Absence of Malice

"Paul Newman played many unforgettable roles. But the ones for which he was proudest never had top billing on the marquee. Devoted husband. Loving father. Adoring grandfather. Dedicated philanthropist... Always and to the end, Dad was incredibly grateful for his good fortune. In his own words: 'It's been a privilege to be here.' He will be profoundly missed by those whose lives he touched, but he leaves us with extraordinary inspiration to draw upon. During this difficult time, we ask for privacy for our family." – Statement from Newman's three daughters Elinor, Melissa and Claire, whose mother is Oscar-winning actress Joanne Woodward

"He was a master of his craft — an artist respected and emulated by his peers and beloved by movie fans around the world." – Dan Glickman, the chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America

"Paul Newman's craft was acting. His passion was racing. His love was his family and friends. And his heart and soul were dedicated to helping make the world a better place for all." – Robert Forrester, vice-chairman of Newman's Own Foundation, which has donated more than $250 million charities worldwide

"All who knew him, worked with him and who have been touched by his kindness and generosity are extremely fortunate. It was Paul's dream that the camps continue to thrive and provide laughter to children who need it most, and we will keep that dream alive." – Statement from the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps, which Newman founded in 1988 for children with serious medical needs

"Paul Newman was the ultimate cool guy who men wanted to be like and women adored. He was an American icon, a brilliant actor, a Renaissance man and a generous but modest philanthropist. He entertained millions in some of Hollywood's most memorable roles ever, and he brightened the lives of many more, especially seriously ill children, through his charitable works. – California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger

"Paul was an American icon, philanthropist and champion for children. We will miss our dear friend, whose continued support always meant the world to us. Our prayers and thoughts are with Joanne and the Newman family and the many people who Paul impacted through his endless kindness and generosity." – U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and former President Bill Clinton

"We mourn not only the passing of a screen legend, an actor of great depth and charisma who touched generations of fans, but we have lost a true Connecticut treasure in Paul Newman. We were blessed to have him as a friend and neighbor in Connecticut for nearly a half-century." – Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell

God bless you, Paul.

Great actor. May he rest in peace.

I knew Paul was dying of cancer, but it was still a bit of a shock when I found out this afternoon that he passed away. :( He was such a legend and
one of my favorite actors. I don't think I ever saw a bad Newman movie. He was making great films even near the end of his life (Road to Perdition). He will be missed.

R.I.P. Paul :(

Rest in peace

:rip: May he rest in peace. He was one of the great actors.

He was indeed a looker in his younger days, and was a very handsome older man as well. :nod:

I'm saddened by his loss. He was a great man, actor and humanitarian. But he has left us a rich legacy to enjoy and emulate.

An amazing actor. God Bless You, Paul Newman...

We will always have his delicious food to enjoy and remember him. He gave us that gift. present:

I forgot..I have a poster of him and Robert Redford from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid hanging up in my bedroom. lol
