Remembering Paul Newman, my favorite actor
He turned to acting because he didn't want to be in the family sporting-goods business. He started his career in the shadow of Marlon Brando and James Dean. And his first movie, "The Silver Chalice," was a bomb. And yet Paul Newman persisted, gained stardom and grew better with age. How often can you say that about a Hollywood performer? Reports circulated for months that he was in bad health. And yet his death Friday at age 83 was a shock. Newman was so vigorous and youthful for so long. He w

PAUL NEWMAN: WE WON'T FORGET YOU
It's over. We've lost one of the greatest movie stars of our time. He outlived his contemporaries and competitors James Dean, Montgomery Clift, and Marlon Brando, and we never grew tired of him. What made Paul Newman special, aside from his devastating good looks, was his decency and humanity. We will remember his inspiring long term marriage to Joanne Woodward and his sincere charity work, as well as those amazing blue eyes. Posted by Janet Charlton on September 27, 2008 12:09

He truly was Newman's Own. An Oscar winning actor and award-winning director, Paul Newman was a screen giant.

But he was more than just one of the most respected and beloved leading men of his generation; Newman was also one of Hollywood's greatest philanthropists who quietly gifted over $250 million to various c

Paul Newman, taking his second spin on the marriage-go-round, grabbed the brass ring with Joanne Woodward. On a Hollywood landscape littered with countless broken marriages, the Newman-Woodward pairing became the gold standard: They celebrated 50 years together on Jan. 29.

Newman once attributed their lasting union to "correct amounts of lust and respect." ACTOR Paul Ne

Paul Newman, Hollywood's anti-hero, dies at 83
WESTPORT, Conn. - Paul Newman never much cared for what he once called the "rubbish" of Hollywood, choosing to live in a quiet community on the opposite corner of the U.S. map, staying with his wife of many years and _ long after he became bored with acting _ pursuing his dual passions of philanthropy and race cars.

Film Review: Righteous Kill
For any fans of American cinema from the last forty years, there are three principle giants of the screen: Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Jack Nicholson. These three, all emerging around the same time at the end of the Sixties and start of the Seventies, ushered in a new era of gritty, rough cinematic realism – albeit building on the work of the likes of Marlon Brando, James Dean and their fellow method actors from the Fifties. But unlike Brando and co they were given an added freedom by the concurrent ris
