Paul Newman Dead At 83
Actor, renowned for roles in 'The Hustler,' 'Cool Hand Luke,' 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,' 'The Sting' and 'The Verdict' and others, died Friday of cancer.
Oscar-winning actor and noted philanthropist Paul Newman died Friday at his home in Westport, Connecticut, of cancer, a spokesperson told CNN. The actor was renowned not only for his work in such 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," but also for his many years of charity work.
Born January 26, 1925, in Shaker Heights, Ohio, Newman's acting career began auspiciously, with a small role in the Pulitzer Prize winning Broadway play "Picnic." But it wasn't until he moved to Hollywood in the mid-1950s that he really began rocketing to fame, with roles in films like "The Silver Chalice," "Somebody Up There Likes Me," and, especially, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (1958) where he played Brick Pollitt, the ambiguously homosexual son of a southern patriarch. For his performance in the film, Newman would receive the first of what would become 10 Academy Award nominations.
