Spokeswoman Marni Tomljanovic said Newman died Friday of cancer. No other details were immediately available.

Newman was nominated for Academy Awards 10 times, winning a regular Oscar in 1987 for "The Color of Money" and two honorary ones. He was equally at home in comedies such as "The Sting" and dramas such as "Hud."

He sometimes teamed with his wife, Joanne Woodward, also an Oscar winner for the 1957 film "Three Faces of Eve."

Oh, how sad....  I just saw a replay of Robert Redford on the biography show and he was saying what great friends he and Paul Newman were and the jokes they played on each other.  He was one of Hollywoods greats and even though I havent' seen him in much recently, I'm going to really, really miss him.

My Great Aunt died on the same day as Mr. Newman.  She was a Nurse for over fifty years and had met and talked Paul Newman several times because of his charity.  At her memorial service a good friend of hers said she hoped that the both of them met up and were having lunch somewhere together.  It was a comforting thought, she really thought he was a good and kind person.
