Passing: Paul Newman

There are plenty of other places to get complete information about Paul Newman. But we could not go without acknowledging the death of this great actor from cancer at the age of 83.

"An American Original" is a term that is often thrown around. But Newman was truly a giant, nominated for Oscars 10 times, winning one regular award and two honorary ones, and had major roles in more than 50 motion pictures, including "Exodus," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Verdict," "The Sting" and "Absence of Malice."
