Legendary film star Paul Newman, whose good looks and talent made him one of Hollywood's top actors over six decades, has died at age 83 after a long battle with cancer.

Newman died yesterday at his farmhouse near Westport, Connecticut, said his Los Angeles-based spokesman Jeff Sanderson.


"His death was as private and discreet as the way he had lived his life, a humble artist who never thought of himself as 'big,' surrounded by his beloved family and the close circle of friends," said a statement released by his family on Saturday.
Paul Leonard Newman, known as "PL" to his friends, appeared in more than 50 movies, including "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "The Hustler," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "The Sting." He earned nine Oscar nominations for acting and won the best actor honour for 1986's "The Colour of Money."

I liked Paul Newman. May not have always agreed with his politics, but he was a good enough man to overlook that. I know he sure loved and supported racing, which I thought was pretty cool.
