Paul Newman Dies at 83

Screen legend and philanthropist Paul Newman has died of cancer in Connecticut at the age of eighty-three. Those who knew him, talk not only about his acting ability but also about how important he was as a person.

Newman spent millions of dollars building camps for sick children, and he also created the Newman's Own food line, which donates all of its profits to charity. It has raised millions of dollars already, and undoubtedly will continue to raise millions more.

Newmans career spanned more than 50 years, and he will be missed by the acting community and the public at large for a long time to come. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Newman had humble upbringings and even had some trouble in his early life. His rebound to become such a huge star and give back so much to others was a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit.
