Paul Newman, the lean, famously blue-eyed, laconically humorous actor/director, writer, entrepreneur/philanthropist, environmentalist, gourmet, liberal activist, race car driver and benefactor of theater, camps for dying children and countless other causes, lives in Westport with his wife, the actor-director and former theater executive Joanne Woodward. Initially a stage actor trained at the Yale School of Drama in New Haven, Newman soon became a movie star in the era of Marlon Brando and James Dean. Ultimately he surpassed them both, as the great Brando failed to find the right roles and grew fat, and Dean passed into legend in a fatal sports car crash after only three movies. Newman's self-mocking, whimsical humor can be seen in his biography in the Westport Country Playhouse program for "Our Town" which said in part: "Paul Newman is probably best known for his spectacularly successful food conglomerate. In addition to giving the profits to charity, such as his "Hole in the Wall Camps" for children with cancer, named after his gang in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." He also ran Frank Sinatra out of the spaghetti sauce business."
