Paul Newman, the screen legend whose rebellious roles, steely delivery, and radiant blue eyes made him a star across seven decades, has died. He was 83.
Spokeswoman Marni Tomljanovic told The Associated Press that Newman died Friday of cancer. Details were not immediately available.
He married his first wife, Jackie, in 1950. They had three children — Scott, Susan and Stephanie — before divorcing in 1958. In the same year Newman met and fell in love with his future wife, Joanne Woodward, when they filmed the
The Long, Hot Summer. They married in Las Vegas, and went on to have three daughters, Elinor, Melissa and Claire.
The couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in January. He was often asked how a Hollywood marriage could persevere so successfully.
"I have steak at home," he once explained. "Why should I go out for hamburger?"
