BBC said:
Hollywood legend Paul Newman has died at the age of 83, his spokeswoman has confirmed.

Marni Tomljanovic said the blue-eyed star of films like Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid died on Friday of cancer. She gave no further details.

Newman was nominated for an Oscar 10 times, winning a best actor trophy in 1987 for The Color Of Money.

In May 2007, he said he was giving up acting because he could no longer perform to the best of his ability.

"I'm not able to work anymore... at the level that I would want to," he told US broadcaster ABC.

Earlier this year, he pulled out of directing a stage production of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men in Connecticut because of unspecified health problems.

RIP old blue eyes.
 
83. Damn. Well he lived a long and good life.
 
He was a great actor, I'm sorry to see him go.
 
I've heard of him, but I don't think I've seen any of his movies. RIP.
 
Well I for one will miss his line of Salad Dressings.

RIP Mr. Paul Newman.

He was good in the few movies I've seen him in, The Sting, Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, Cool Hand Luke.

Well I for one will miss his line of Salad Dressings.
lol if anything they'll get a boost from this.
 
RIP. Can't remember his films but he's familiar.
 
Another one bites the dust. 83 though, good stuff.
 
He looks like the guy who played Buck in Band of Brothers.
