Hollywood legend Paul Newman has lost his battle against cancer. He
died on Friday aged 83.

Jeff Sanderson , his publicist, said the star, who was nominated for
Academy Awards 10 times and won an Oscar in 1987 for his role in The
Colour of Money, died after a long battle with cancer at his
farmhouse near Westport, Connecticut. He was surrounded by his
family and close friends.

Newman appeared in some 60 movies, including Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,
The Hustler, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting. Famed
for his philanthropy as well as his acting, Newman was married to
Oscar-winning actress Joanne Woodward for more than 50 years, and
had successful side careers as a racing driver and creator of a line
of food products, Newman’s Own, that bore his name and face on their
labels.

The Newman’s Own Foundation took profits from that company to
sponsor numerous charitable organisations. Newman also founded his
Hole in the Wall Camps, which provided fun summer breaks for
children around the world suffering from life-threatening illnesses.

Newman was born in a Cleveland suburb on January 26, 1925, and was a
Navy radio man in the Pacific during World War Two.

Afterwards, he went to Kenyon College in Ohio on a football
scholarship, but took up acting after being cut from the team
because of a bar-room brawl.

After his father’s death, Newman helped run the family sporting
goods store before heading to the Yale Drama School. He ended up in
New York, finding bit parts in TV and a Broadway role in Picnic in
1953. His first big film role was portraying boxer Rocky Graziano in
Somebody Up There Likes Me.

He went on to become one of the world’s most enduring and popular
film stars, a legend held in awe by his peers. He had big roles in
more than 50 movies, including Exodus, Butch Cassidy and the
Sundance Kid, The Verdict, The Sting and Absence of Malice. In doing
so he worked with some of the greatest directors of the past half
century, from Alfred Hitchcock and John Huston to Robert Altman,
Martin Scorsese and the Coen brothers.

His co-stars included Elizabeth Taylor, Lauren Bacall, Tom Cruise,
Tom Hanks and, most famously, Robert Redford, his sidekick in Butch
Cassidy and The Sting.

With his strong, classically handsome face and piercing blue eyes,
Newman was a heartthrob just as likely to play against his looks,
becoming a favourite with critics for his convincing portrayals of
rebels, tough guys and losers. “I was always a character actor,” he
once said. “I just looked like Little Red Riding Hood.”

Newman had a soft spot for underdogs in real life and, as well as
his acting legacy, dedicated much of his life to charity work.
Robert Forrester, vice chairman of Newman Own, the foundation
founded by the actor in 1982, said: “Paul Newman’s craft was acting.
His passion was racing. His love was his family and friends. And his
heart and soul were dedicated to helping make the world a better
place for all.

“Paul had an abiding belief in the role that luck plays in one’s
life, and its randomness. He was quick to acknowledge the good
fortune he had in his own life, beginning with being born in
America, and was acutely aware of how unlucky so many others were.
True to his character, he quietly devoted himself to helping offset
this imbalance.”

Forrester said Newman’s work had raised $250 million and helped
thousands of children worldwide suffering from life threatening
conditions with his 11 Hole in the Wall camps.

“He saw the Camps as places where kids could escape the fear, pain
and isolation of their conditions, kick back, and raise a little
hell,” added Forrester.

“Through the Camps, well over 135,000 children have had the chance
to experience what childhood was meant to be.”
