Paul Newman Dies at 83


Academy Award winning acting legend Paul Newman has died. Newman died yesterday at his home in Westport, Connecticut after a long battle with cancer. Newman's career in show business included far too many films to list, but stand-outs include The Sting, Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Long Hot Summer, and his Oscar winning role in The Color of Money.

Newman's career wasn't limited to the big screen. He was a successful race car driver and founder of Newman's Own food company.

Newman's biggest success may have been personal, not professional. His marriage to actress Joanne Woodward, herself an Oscar winner in her own right, began fifty years ago in January 1958.
