Paul Newman died at 83


We know that Paul Newman is sick of cancer. Yesterday, Friday, he died at age 83. He's one of my favorite veteran actors which include Sean Connery and Robert Redford.

I admire him not only in his acting but also in his philantrophy and fidelity to his wife to whom he was married for decades.





Excerpt of the news:
Paul Newman, the legendary actor whose steely blue eyes, good-humored charm and advocacy of worthy causes made him one of the most renowned figures in American arts, has died of cancer at his home in Westport, Connecticut. He was 83.
Oscar-winning actor Paul Newman has died of cancer at age 83.

He died Friday, according to spokeswoman Marni Tomljanovic.

Newman attained stardom in the 1950s and never lost the movie-star aura, appearing in such classic films as "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Exodus," "The Hustler," "Cool Hand Luke," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Sting" and "The Verdict."
The actor Paul Newman has died at 83 of cancer, his spokeswoman told The Associated Press. Mr. Newman, whose career spanned five decades, was also a prominent social
activist, a major proponent of actors' creative rights and a noted philanthropist. He was nominated for Academy Awards.
