The multi-talented, liberal activist, race car driver Paul Newman was born in Shaker Heights, Ohio on 1/26/1925.
His father was a well-to-do sporting goods store owner.
Starring in a total of 76 Movies, Newman gave the movie lovers unforgettable classics like The Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958), The Verdict (1982), The Color of Money (1986), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), and The Hustler (1961).
Paul Newman was nominated for the Academy Award for a total of 10 times in 1959, 1962, 1964, 1968, 1969, 1982, 1983, 1987, 1995 and 2003 and won it in 1987 for The Color of Money (1986).
Here are some trivia facts about Paul Newman:
1) The Premiere magazine voted him the 6th Greatest Movie Star of all time..
2) Has donated $200 million to charity since 1982..
3) His definition of acting is -- Acting is like letting your pants down - you're exposed. (1982).
My favorite Newman quote is: Small price to pay for beauty. (Butch Ca ssidy commenting on a robbed bank.).
Probably his role that touches me the most is that of Brick Politt, a crippled and jealous hunk of a football star in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958). Supported by a marvelous cast that included Burl Ives and Elizabeth Taylor, Newman proved that he has no equals in bringing to the surface the vulnerabilities of the male ego without, however, jeopardizing our identification with him as the good guy.
