The Loss of a Legend: Paul Newman Dies
A giant in the film industry — as well as the food industry with his Newman’s Own charitable brand — the Oscar winner redefined the matinee idol with his rebellious, confident characters in such ’60s film classics as ‘Cool Hand Luke’ and ‘The Hustler’ and mid-career in films like ‘The Sting’ and ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ opposite good friend Robert Redford. The handsome, piercing blue-eyed Newman was initially compared to

Paul Newman’s death casts pall over Hollywood
History may judge him as the greatest actor of his generation, which includes the likes of James Dean and Marlon Brando, but Paul Newman was more than just an actor. He was a gracious gentleman, family man and generous giver of his time and his money. His death, at age 83 after a long battle with cancer, cast [...]

Paul Newman, a titan of Hollywood, is dead at 83
Newman, one of the last of the great 20th-century movie stars, died Friday at his home in Westport, Connecticut He was 83. The cause was cancer, said Jeff Sanderson of Chasen & Company, Newman's publicist. If Marlon Brando and James Dean defined the defiant American male as a sullen rebel, Paul Newman recreated him as a likable renegade, a strikingly handsome figure of animal high spirits and blue-eyed candor whose magnetism was almost impossible to resist, whether the character wa

Paul Newman (1925-2008)
By Edward CopelandIn the field of acting, being a sex symbol and a great actor don't often exist within the same performer, but when they do, as in the case of Paul Newman, it's electric. What's even more amazing about Newman, who has succumbed to cancer at 83, is that his sex appeal lasted well into his AARP years and his acting only seemed to get better as he aged. Like many actors of his generation, he got his start mostly in early 1950s television. He openly disdained his first feature film, 1954's The

Appreciation: Newman was among rare breed of star
Sure, the talent would have been there, the classic good looks, the magnetism, the easy charm. But the privacy he demanded (and won), which helped establish and solidify his mystique as a bona fide movie star, never would have been afforded him in our tabloid-driven, celebrity-obsessed culture. Sad but true. Part of why we were fascinated with Newman, who died Friday at 83 of cancer, was because we didn’t know every gory detail of his life, even though he’d reached the zenith of fame and popula

Paul Newman Dead at 83
Hollywood legend Paul Newman died of cancer last night in his home. The actor was 83 years old. Starring in many Hollywood blockbusters like "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "The Hustler," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," and "The Sting," Newman was also a big fan of car racing and a major philanthropist. In the 80s, Newman started Newman's Own, a food company. All profits from the company went to charities such as his Hole in the Wall Gang camp. To date, the compa

Matinee idol handsome, Paul Newman preferred grittier stuff
Paul Newman may be best known for saying, "Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand." Like he would have known. Paul Newman robbed banks with Robert Redford, raced automobiles, ate 50 eggs, had his thumbs broken, donated more than $200 million to charity, lost his first major film role to James Dean, blew up a million-gallon water tank with Steve McQueen, faced off with Elizabeth Taylor, won an Oscar and whipped up a mean low-fat Caesar dressing. Whatever Paul Newman held in his hand, a few inches bel

NYT | Paul Newman Dies at 83
"Paul Newman achieved what most of his peers could not: remaining a major star into charismatic old age," wrote the New York Times today, after the death of Paul Newman. "If Marlon Brando and James Dean defined the defiant American male as a sullen rebel, Paul Newman recreated him as a likable renegade, a strikingly handsome figure of animal high spirits and blue-eyed candor whose magnetism was almost impossible to resist, whether the character was Hud, Cool Hand Luke or Butch Cassidy."   [permalink]&

Paul Newman Dies at 83
The cause was cancer, said Jeff Sanderson of Chasen & Company, Mr. Newman’s publicist. If Marlon Brando and James Dean defined the defiant American male as a sullen rebel, Paul Newman recreated him as a likable renegade, a strikingly handsome figure of animal high spirits and blue-eyed candor whose magnetism was almost impossible to resist, whether the character was Hud, Cool Hand Luke or Butch Cassidy. He acted in more than 65 movies over more than 50 years, drawing on a physical grace, unassuming

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

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

Newman's Daughters Hail Him As An "Inspirational" Father
Hollywood legend Paul Newman was an "inspirational" father who will be "profoundly missed", his daughters have declared in a touching tribute to the late star. The screen icon lost his battle with lung cancer on Friday (26Sep08), at the age of 83.

Paul Newman Dead At 83
After a long battle with cancer, Academy Award winning actor Paul Newman has died at the age of 83. According to his publicist, Paul passed away on Friday, at his home in Connecticut, where he was surrounded by friends and family. The screen legend, who starred in classics such as Cool Hand Luke, The Hustler, and The Color of Money, also had one of the strongest marriages in Hollywood. He and wife Joanne Woodward married in 1958 and remained solid for the following 50 years. But besides hi s

On capturing stars' spontaneity
Marlon Brando knocked out his teeth. Jackie Onassis took him to court. You know his photos even if you don't know his name. He has photographed Elizabeth Taylor, Robert Redford, Frank Sinatra and Dustin Hoffman and countless other stars in unguarded moments. He is Ron Galella, the grandfather of paparazzi, a self-described "artist with a camera" and his work is the subject of an exhibit at the Roots flagship store. I asked him to pick one image that, to him, represents his remarkable career. &q

Newman and Joanne Woodward: 50 years together
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. And when Newman died Friday at the Connecticut home they shared since 1960, Woodward was still there - until death did them part. Newman once attributed their lasting union to "correct amounts of lust and respect." ACTOR Paul Ne
