Legendary American actor Paul Newman passed away last night after a long battle with cancer. Newman was a humanitarian, philanthropist, activist and beloved actor who appeared in films over the course of the last five decades. Newman was nominated for an Academy Award ten times and won in 1987 for his role in The Color of Money.

Newman was most famous for his roles in a couple of small films you might have seen at some point Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, The Color of Money, Road to Perdition, Slapshot, The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, The Towering Inferno, The Three Faces of Eve, The Long Hot Summer, the Absence of Malice, and The Verdict.

Paul Newman was a beloved American actor and activist (and founded some damn good food lines - I think I’ll go have a chocolate-mint Newman-O (no kidding they exist, they are in my cupboard)).
