Connecticut native and legendary actor Paul Newman has passed away at the age of 83 after a long battle with cancer.
Besides being an actor, Newman was known as an activist, race car driver and owner and the founder of the “Newman’s Own” brand of food products. All of the “Newman’s Own” profits were given to charity.
His film credits include Hud, Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and The Verdict among countless others.
He is survived by his wife Joanne Woodward and their 3 daughters Elinor, Melissa and Clare. He is also survived by two daughters, Susan and Kendall and a son, Scott, from a previous marriage.
Our condolences go out to his friends and family on the passing of Newman.
