Legendary actor Paul Newman, whose steely blue eyes, good-humoured charm and advocacy of worthy causes made him one of the most renowned figures in American arts, has died of cancer at his home in Westport, Connecticut.
He was 83.
Paul died Friday, according to spokeswoman Marni Tomljanovic.
Says Robert Forrester, vice chairman of the actor’s Newman’s Own Foundation: “Paul took advantage of what life offered him, and while personally reluctant to acknowledge that he was doing anything special, he forever changed the lives of many with his generosity, humor, and humanness. His legacy lives on in the charities he supported and the Hole in the Wall Camps, for which he cared so much.”

I am fucking devastated. He was truly a great man. Beautiful, inside and out. Hollywood pieces of shi of today, should look to him for example.
I loved him. So sad.
He left in incredible legacy. What more could someone want that super success, the talent to back it up AND he made a deep & lasting positive impact on the world. A Great thanks to the whole Newman family.
This hurts. Paul was wonderful; a shining example of a man devoted to his causes and his family. My dad was a great fan of his growing up, and then passed the torch on to me. There are few people who I have admired so thoroughly as I have admired Paul. I know that his philanthropy and humanitarianism touched so many people. My thoughts go out to his wife and children.
RIP Paul Newman you were a great actor!
