With Hollywood's double standard for age and beauty, Newman remained one of the most famous movie stars in the world as he breezed through his 40s while Woodward's trajectory stalled. Newman may have been one of the brightest stars in Hollywood, but most fans knew better than to approach him for an autograph.

Even though Newman enjoyed the quiet, humble life at home with his family, that didn’t mean he still didn’t chase thrills every once in a while. A flawed but fundamentally decent man who devoted his later years to philanthropy after his only son, Scott, died from a drug overdose, Newman was nothing like the swaggering, self-confident macho figure — utterly irresistible to women — he played in films such as The Hustler, Hud, and Cool Hand Luke. It was a quiet affair for the aging couple, with Newman battling lung cancer and Woodward adjusting to the real-life onset of Alzheimer's, but a memorable one all the same. Before his own death, the actor expressed just how much he felt the weight of all of it in multiple interviews.Tyler Christopher's tragic life: General Hospital star who was married to Eva Longoria admitted he 'flatlined' three times in the grips of alcohol addiction. Every major director wanted him to star in their films and every woman in America wanted to marry him.

Nixon had an entire “enemies list” that he kept of people who he felt stood in his way, and the actor was pretty high up on it. Beauty queen Athenna Crosby claims she was spotted having lunch with 'close friend' Matthew Perry a day. People who knew about the affair – and apparently, there were a lot – joked that he may not go out for hamburgers, but he sure went out for bacon. They also kept the flame alive through their joint passion for the craft that first brought them together.He constantly had young women throwing themselves at him and making it known that they would love to be the woman in his life. The primary focus of the center was their Rowdy Ridge Camp, which was a summer camp program for troubled youth. According to the portrayal in Levy’s book, the affair began when he was filming perhaps his biggest film in history: 'Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid'. When Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward would appear as a couple after they were married, it was so apparent to everyone just how in love the two young stars were.

The world was in mourning over the loss of such a bright star and someone who’d done so much for the entertainment industry. Another interesting fact about Newman is that he originally had his sights set on a career in football. At the time of his passing, Newman was 83 years old and living at his home in Connecticut with Joanne.Sometimes you wonder if the donations that some celebrities make are more about how much they care about a specific cause, or about how it makes them look to the public. Newman was a heavy smoker in his younger years, which may have contributed in large part to his lung cancer diagnosis later in life. Since Newman’s death, Woodward has stayed out of the spotlight for the most part, and the three daughters that the couple share have made it their mission to ensure that their mother’s privacy is protected at all times.
