Paul Newman Dead at 83

Hollywood legend Paul Newman died of cancer last night in his home. The actor was 83 years old. Starring in many Hollywood blockbusters like "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "The Hustler," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," and "The Sting," Newman was also a big fan of car racing and a major philanthropist.
In the 80s, Newman started Newman's Own, a food company. All profits from the company went to charities such as his Hole in the Wall Gang camp. To date, the company has given away more than $200 million. Newman established the camp to benefit gravely ill children.
He has been married to actress Joanne Woodward for 50 years and leaves behind Joanne and four children. A fifth child, son Scott, died in 1978 from an accidental drug overdose.
Rock on, Paul. Loved everything you were in.
