You may have seen him in films like Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid,with Robert Redford, Cool Hand Luke, The Color Of Money & most recently, the 2002 film Road To Perdition with Tom Hanks.
You may have also heard him bringing to life the character of Doc Hudson from the Disney-Pixar movie Cars. He was Paul Newman (1925-2008), one or our most beloved iconic screen stars. Just this week, he died at home due to complications arising from cancer. He was one of the most respected and admired celebrity, not only for his sterling performances and rugged good looks, but also because of the strong moral and civic responsibility he epitomized in the giddy world of Hollywood.

He and actress Joanne Woodward, is hailed as one of the most stellar examples of marriage, having achieved 50 years together, in a world where marriage is often transitory and fleeting. He was also a genuine philanthropist, founding Newman’s Own, a line of food products that donates all proceeds of the sale to charity. He will be sadly missed.
