award for Best Director for “Rachel, Rachel,” which he produced and directed
and which starred his wife, Joanne Woodward. In addition Newman was
awarded an Honorary Oscar ® in 1986 in recognition of his outstanding
contributions to film, and the Cecil B. DeMille Award from the Hollywood
Foreign Press Association in 1984. In 1992, he and Joanne Woodward received
the Kennedy Center Honors.
Newman began his career on the stage, making his Broadway debut in
the 1953 production of William Inge’s “Picnic.” The following year he made his
first appearance on the big screen in “The Silver Chalice,” but it was his portrayal
of boxer Rocky Graziano in 1956’s “Somebody Up There Likes Me” that
catapulted him to stardom. Over the next decade, the actor starred in two dozen
films, including “The Long, Hot Summer,” for which he was named Best Actor at
the Cannes film festival, “The Left Handed Gun,” “Exodus,” and “Sweet Bird of
Youth.”
In 1969 Newman teamed with Robert Redford in George Roy Hill’s smash
hit Western “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” which became an instant
classic. Four years later, Newman, Redford, and Hill reunited in the Academy
Award ® -winning Best Picture “The Sting.”
Newman’s iconic status has never waned over the years. His long list of
film credits also includes “The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean,” “The
Towering Inferno,” “The Drowning Pool,” “Slap Shot,” “Fort Apache the
Bronx,” “Fat Man and Little Boy,” “Blaze,” “The Hudsucker Proxy,” and
“Message in a Bottle.”
Additionally, Newman directed, produced and starred in “Harry and
Son,” produced and directed “The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon
Marigolds,” and directed “The Glass Menagerie” and the telefilm “The Shadow
Box,” the latter earning him an Emmy ® nomination. Newman received an
Emmy ® award, Golden Globe ® and Screen Actors Guild award for his
performance in the miniseries “Empire Falls,” for which he also served as
executive producer. He recently received a Tony nomination for his
performance in the Broadway production of “Our Town.”
Apart from his film work, Newman has a well-known passion for
automobile racing. He is also a dedicated philanthropist, whose Newman’s Own
line of food products – all the proceeds of which go to charity – has generated
more than $200 million in donations. He is also devoted to the Scott Newman
Center, named for his son, and the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang Camp, which
provides a fun-filled environment for seriously ill children. In 1994, the Academy
of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented Newman with the coveted Jean
Hersholt Humanitarian Award.
Professional credits aside, Newman is married to the best actress on the
planet, was number 19 on Nixon’s enemies list, and is generally considered by
professionals to be the worst fisherman on the East Coast.
