Screen legend Paul Newman has died from cancer, aged 83.
With his piercing blue eyes and laid back style, Paul Newman became one of the most recognised leading men in Hollywood.
But he always doubted his own acting ability, once claiming that "I only got by on looks and energy."
Paul Leonard Newman was born on 26 Jan 1925 in the Shaker Heights suburb of Cleveland, Ohio.
In 1969 he teamed up with Robert Redford for the western, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, which became one of the biggest grossing films of all time.
He worked with Redford again in 1973 in The Sting, in which a complicated plot was hatched by a pair of hustlers to con a big time gangster, played by Robert Shaw.
He continued to widen his repertoire playing a diverse selection of roles throughout the 1970s and 80s.
They varied from the architect in The Towering Inferno, a hard drinking hockey coach in Slap Shot and the taciturn cop Murphy in Fort Apache, The Bronx.
In 2007 he announced officially that he was retiring from acting, believing that he was no longer able to perform at the level he wanted.
"You start to lose your memory, you start to lose your confidence, you start to lose your invention. So I think that's pretty much a closed book for me."
Following the end of his first marriage to Jackie Witte, he married the actress Joanne Woodward in 1958.
It was one of the most enduring relationships in Hollywood and the couple jealously guarded their privacy.
Once asked if he was ever attracted by the beautiful women with whom he worked Newman famously replied, "Why go out for a hamburger when you can have steak at home".
He credited a regular beer intake for his good fortune, and a sign on his office door summed up his approach, "If we ever have a plan, we're screwed."

Maradona wasnt better than Zico, Ronaldo, Zidane, Platini, etc. He used to take drugs since Napoles to improve his condition.
George Best was good but I can name at least 20 brazilian players better than him. Players who play and didnt for ''Brazilian Seleção'' along time. Tostão, Rivelino, Sócrates, Vavá, Didi, Reinaldo (Brazil 1978), Falcão, Careca, Romário, Edmundo, Joazinho ( Cruzeiro), Jairzinho, Alex ( Cruzeiro, Palmeiras,Fenerbache), Roberto Dinamite...etc oh, forgot--GARRINCHA.
Thanks
