Coolest/Kindest man ever is no more Paul Newman RIP

[menospeakthai]

Hollywood legend Paul Newman has died at the age of 83, his spokeswoman has confirmed.

Marni Tomljanovic said the Color Of Money star died on Friday of cancer. She gave no further details.

Newman starred in films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and won a best actor Oscar in 1987 for The Color Of Money.

In May 2007, he said he was giving up acting because he could no longer perform to the best of his ability.

"I'm not able to work anymore... at the level that I would want to," he told US broadcaster ABC.

Earlier this year, he pulled out of directing a stage production of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men in Connecticut because of unspecified health problems.

However, he denied reports that he was ill with cancer.
