The blue-eyed actor who seemed to have a heart of gold died Friday in his Westport, CT home from complications with cancer, reports confirm.
A true heartthrob in his day, Newman starred in such giant 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.” He also co-founded Newman’s Own, a food company with ties to charity and whose popcorn and cookies have stocked my pantry for years.
Paul Newman was one of those Hollywood actors who gave the profession dignity, a sense of humor, and a much needed dose of humility. He also married his wife Joanne Woodward in 1958 and stayed married to her until the day he died, scoffing at questions of infidelity with the quote, “Why would I go out for a hamburger when [I] have steak at home?”
Paul, we’ll miss you.
