Paul Newman dies
Paul Newman, the Academy-Award winning superstar who personified cool as an activist, race car driver, popcorn impresario and the anti-hero of such films as "Hud," "Cool Hand Luke" and "The Color of Money," has died, a spokeswoman said Saturday. He was 83.
Newman died Friday of cancer, spokeswoman Marni Tomljanovic said. No other details were immediately available.
In May, Newman he had dropped plans to direct a fall production of "Of Mice and Men," citing unspecified health issues.
He was a good man who gave away over $120 million to charity. RIP Paul. You will be missed.
