His daughters also made a statement:
" Paul Newman played many unforgettable roles. But he was most proud of never led the division on the marquee: loyal husband, loving father, grandfather, adorable, big-time philanthropist .
But surely always remember him for those stunning blue eyes and easy to make you believe any character. It was one of my favorite actors and will remain so forever, I can not keep from getting too bad to have died not know them personally but when a player comes to you that way, you feel that you will also no longer be affected.
At the time he announced he was leaving the film even with over many years and realizing that it deserved tranquility I felt sad, I guess they knew he was sick. And a curious fact, my father greatly resembles him, I guess that's why when you saw in his movies was so familiar to me. We'll always have that, his movies to remember him and admire his work, beyond that will be all set up foundations and companies to collaborate with the world how bad he is, it was also an actor was a man of great political consciousness, social and family.
His films will always be part of my cinematic memory will always be among my favorite movies and never missing in my collection of dvds.
News of his dismissal from the film and biography: Farewell film and biography.
When it was learned he was sick: News disease.
may not be a great honor but it is done with all my love and admiration for this great man and actor.
