He was a good actor I enjoyed immensely who gave a lot to charity.
I really don't know much more about him, and hope that if he is dying, he doesn't suffer.

I agree. I remember the first time I saw Cool Hand Luke. I was riveted by the story and the great performance of Paul Newman.
Loved the part where he broke out of jail, went out a had a great time -- and sent pics back to his buddies in the pen.

Paul Leonard Newman - January 26, 1925 - September 26, 2008.
