Paul Newman is gone. He was 83

Actor and director Paul Newman has left this planet. He was 83 and he suffered from lung cancer for a long time. His last wish was to let him die at home.

The eyes of the cinema are no longer blue …

Paul Newman gain his fame for playing Ben Quick in The Long Hot Summer (1958, directed by Martin Ritt). He played in many cinema and tv movies, shortly becoming a true American icon.

Paul received the award for the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival in 1959 (The Long Hot Summer). On the set for the role of his life Paul Newman met his soon to be second and final wife, Joanne Woodward.

The two lovers starred in 11 movies and Newman cast her in other four films. Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward got married on January 29th 1958 and they had three daughters.

His first wife was Jackie Witte.

Paul Newman was one of my favorite actors. He shall be missed :)
