Paul Newman, Hollywood's anti-hero, dies at 83

 

By JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN, Associated Press Writer

 

WESTPORT, Conn. - Paul Newman never much cared for what he once called the "rubbish" of Hollywood, choosing to live in a quiet community on the opposite corner of the U.S. map, staying with his wife of many years and ? long after he became bored with acting ? pursuing his dual passions of philanthropy and race cars

 

And yet despite enormous success in both endeavors and a vile distaste for celebrity, the Oscar-winning actor never lost the aura of a towering Hollywood movie star, turning in roles later in life that carried all the blue-eyed, heartthrob cool of his anti-hero performances in "Hud," "Cool Hand Luke" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid."

He was one of the greatest!! The Sting is still one of my favorite movies and I can't tell you how often I have watched it...
