My friend's brother is a hemophiliac, he went fishing with Newman because he set up a hemophiliac charity. He said he was a very nice guy.
I don't know exactly what his political views were.. even if he was a left winger, he did a lot of good charitable work.

Not cheating on your wife is supposed to be a great accomplishment? Cheating on a spouse is evil and not doing so is just basic decency.

I don't see how you all can prove that he didn't commit adultery. Just think about the logic of it. It's much harder to substantiate and prove a negative action than an actual one.

This day and age it IS a big accomplishment.

Furthermore, a guy like Newman would have had Women throwing themselves at him on a daily basis.

Oh yes, its says a lot that Newman didn't cheat on his wife.

Paul Newman is up there with Charlton Heston as one of best actors of the Twentieth Century. He may have held political views which many of us differ with. But he never once collaborated with the enemies of America(Hanoi Jane) or encouraged taxpayers and their nations to fork over tremendous sums of aid (Bono).

No Newman stated his opinion like every America, and used his immense wealth and businesses (like Newman's Own) to finance charities for lots of good causes like cancer research or summer camps for sick kids. Above politics, Newman was the definition of a class act.

Paul Newman's performance in "The Verdict" was second to none.  The Academy made a mistake not awarding him the Oscar that year.  He got an Academy Award for "The Color of Money" which was really to make up for him not getting it for "The Verdict" imo.
