## Bio

Born in the Cleveland suburbs in 1925, Newman drifted through a degree in drama and economics at Kenyon College before studying under Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio. His first starring Broadway role came in 1953 with William Inge's Picnic; fifty years later he closed with Our Town. Between them stretched a film career that collected nine Oscar nominations - he won Best Actor for The Color of Money in 1986 - and a string of performances that defined mid-century American cool: The Hustler, Hud, Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting. Away from the camera he raced cars competitively, winning national championships in Sports Car Club of America road racing, and co-founded Newman's Own, the food company whose post-tax profits have funded children's camps and clean water projects long past his death in 2008. He was married twice, the second time to Joanne Woodward, and they worked together onscreen and off for decades.
