This People magazine tribute examines the actor who captivated audiences in The Hustler, The Sting, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The book reveals Newman's life beyond Hollywood stardom. He raced cars professionally and introduced Tom Cruise to the sport. His Newman's Own food company generated $250 million in profits, all donated to charitable causes. The tribute showcases intimate photographs alongside stories of his marriage to Joanne Woodward, which lasted fifty years. Newman emerges as both movie icon and devoted family man, balancing his public persona with private passions for philanthropy and racing.
