 Paul Newman, the legendary actor and philanthropist, passed away over the weekend at the age of 83. Newman had been battling cancer for many years.

Paul Newman was best known for movies like Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Cool Hand Luke and The Sting. In recent years, Newman did voice work, including the voice of Doc Hudson in the Disney-Pixar movie, “Cars”.

He married actress Joanne Woodward in 1958 and the couple sustained one of the longest marriages in Hollywood.

Newman’s love for car racing was legendary, but it was his homemade salad dressing that gained him even more accolades. In the 1980’s, Newman launched his “Newman’s Own” brand of salad dressing, salsas and pasta sauces. All of the profits from Newman’s Own are given to charity.

The death of Paul Newman marks the end of an era. He was truly a Hollywood legend.
