One of the greatest actors of our time and a vivid car aficionado, Paul Newman died on Friday, September 26 at the age of 83 after loosing a long battle with cancer. Paul Newman was a 10-time Oscar nominee winning one regular award for "The Color of Money" and two honorary ones, director, philanthropist, successful business man and something that many might not be aware of, a race car driver with his last major triumph on the track being the victory in the IMSA GTS class at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1995 which he won at the age of 70. But above all, Paul Newman was a great human being who never let the Hollywood star system get the best of him. We’ll definitely miss him.
