The Paul Newman Story. Once upon a time a very handsome blue-eyed man, who also just happened to be an extraordinary actor, came to Hollywood and starred in some movies that were the biggest hits of their day - movies like Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting. Oh yeah, you might say, he's the guy who sold the popcorn and the salad dressing and gave all the profits away to charity. Yes, he did. And he also gave us six decades of wonderful performances in a very prestigious acting career. Please enjoy Destination Hollywood's Tribute to Paul Newman.
