Paul Newman was born on January 26, 1925, to a middle-class family in Sheckheits, Ohio, to parents who ran a well-run sporting goods store. After his father's death in 1950, he briefly ran his own business and worked as a salesman. Later, in order to "melt the ice in his heart", he decided to pursue his acting career wholeheartedly.
The starting point of his brilliant career was not conspicuous, initially, he only played roles in small theaters and TV series, and became one of the most popular Hollywood movie stars with unremitting efforts and struggles. Paul Newman has starred in notable films such as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and The Sting. His acting skills are superb and he is a model among actors.
However, Paul Newman's achievements are not limited to the incredible characters he has portrayed in these classic business cards, but also in his care and help for others. Paul has devoted his life to philanthropy: He has donated the after-tax profits of newman's Own, the food company he founded, to more than $250 million to date, and he has set up a summer camp called "Hole in the Wall" to serve children with serious illnesses.
Few people claim to have fulfilled almost all of their wishes at the end of their lives, and Paul Newman is undoubtedly one of them: He won several Academy Awards and a Golden Globe, became the oldest champion in major professional racing competitions, and turned a small company that started with food into a philanthropic empire. Although he is recognized as a philanthropist, there is also a personal element to this.
Paul's first marriage ended in divorce, and his only son died of an overdose. In honor of Scott and as a reminder to future generations, he founded the Scott Newman Center to call on the world to prevent drug abuse. The second wife, Joanna Woodward, and they were both Oscar-winning, hollywood-model couples, and the marriage lasted for 50 years until death separated them! So much so that a line from the American drama was widely circulated throughout the United States: "Not everyone can have a happy family life like Paul Newman." ”
