Movie legend Paul Newman dies

Hollywood legend Paul Newman has died of cancer at the age of 83

Newman finished chemotherapy treatment for cancer in August and it was widely reported that he had only weeks to live.
In June this year, a neighbor and business partner said the actor told him about the disease the previous year.
In May, Newman pulled out of directing John Steinbeck's 'Of Mice and Men' for unspecified health reasons.
The actor's representative had previously dismissed the cancer claims as simply "not true".
Newman retired from acting in 2006 after a 50-year career that included such classic films as: Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid (1969), The Sting (1971), The Hustler (1961), Cool Hand Luke (1967), Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956), Slapshot (1977), Sometimes a Great Notion (1971) and Absence of Malice (1981) . Newman was nominated for 10 Oscars, winning best actor for his role in The Color Of Money in 1986.
