Actor Paul Newman Dies at 83

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celeb News, Obituaries

Paul Newman, the Academy Award-winning actor and philanthropist, died Friday at his home near Westport, Conn. The 83-year-old passed away after a long a battle with cancer.

Newman, best known by children today as the voice of Doc Hudson in Cars, was last seen on the big screen in 2002’s Road to Perdition (a role he was nominated for). In 2005, he starred in Empire Falls, an HBO production for which he won an Emmy and a Golden Globe.

In 2007, Paul told Good Morning America that he intended to put acting behind him. At that point, Newman had already starred in a string of classic films including The Hustler, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Cool Hand Luke. He had also received three Oscars—one for his role in 1986’s The Color of Money and two others for his career achievements and humanitarian work.
