He was with his family and close friends when he died and a family statement explained: "His death was as private and discreet as the way he had lived his life."
Paul Newman’s five daughters praised their father for his "selfless humility and generosity" and the tributes have been pouring in from the many mourners for this great actor’s death.
Newman’s astonishing career spanned five decades in which time he played roles in as many as 60 films.
Newman was an Academy Award nominee 10 times, although 33 years went by before he won one with the best actor award for The Color Of Money in 1987.
In May of last year, Paul Newman had announced that he was retiring because he no longer thought that he could deliver his best as an actor.
