Is Paul Newman gay? an annon keeps adding that he is, I doubt it, but am not sure. Can someone check? Thanks, Mark Richards 20:03, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
Ummm.... Paul Newman is married. With 3 kids.

- Usually, I find myself in the position of trying to document people who are gay, when many contributors don't want to recognize that for some reason (e.g. Vladimir Horowitz, Barry Manilow). But, Paul Newman? Not by any chance. Definitely straight....Elizabeth Taylor-straight. 66.108.4.183 22:43, 26 July 2006 (UTC) Nash's Companion
- Paul Newman (according to IMDB) has 6 children by his 2 marriages, first to Jackie Witte then to Joanne Woodward. His mother was not Jewish therefore he is not unless he has convertedDakota 06:06, 24 September 2005 (UTC).
That's a religious law. He is half Jewish and half Hungarian in an ethnic sense. Vulturell 07:10, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
Paul Newman is the better actor of all the times,it has style, personality, it deserves the respect all!! vitor Branco ( POrtugal)
Does anyone know what religion he practices?--Moosh88 06:24, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- His "Jewhoo" entry said that his mom sent him to a (Christian Scientist, I presume?) Sunday School when he was little, for something like 2 years, but that "it did not take". IMDB says (though I don't know if they can be trusted since they seem to think that his mother is Irish) that he was generally raised without religion. That's what I see as the gist of it, so I doubt that he seriously practices any religion. His wife (Woodward) is Protestant but also not heavily religious. His Jewhoo entry also said that he said somewhere that he likes to describe himself as Jewish because "it is more of a challenge". But again, that's probably more cultural than religious. So, best guess is, like many Americans from a mixed marriage - just mostly secular, but aware of the two religions he was born into. Vulturell 07:15, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Paul Newman Day
As a graduate of Bates College, I can attest we were celebrating Paul Newman day well before the early 1990s: I remember doing this as a sophomore in 1979. Text changes accordingly . Ssterns 22:27, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
Why is there no picture up? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.119.147.93 (talk • contribs).
- Probably because there is difficulty in obtaining a picture to use without violating copyright. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 04:47, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Food Line
Why is there almost nothing in this article about his line of food? I would venture to say that for a lot of young adults who have never seen his movies, Newman is more associated with his food than he is with acting. Still, it seems important and I think deserves its own section.

[edit] Really Color-Blind?
Is Paul Newman really color-blind? I ask this because I recall a joke/aphorism that I remember reading (possibly from an edition of the Whole Earth Catalog, where they had these on the lower corner of each page) years ago to the effect What if Paul Newman was color-blind and didn't know his eyes were blue? so I'm wondering whether someone mis-remembered this and put it in as fact. 137.82.82.135 23:35, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism of the Paul Newman Page
I have confirmed that his full name is "Paul Leonard Newman", despite an edit claiming it to be "Victor Paul Newman". Reverted. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000056/bio http://www.biography.com/search/article.do?id=9422564
The first footnote also fails to mention any PGA donations, and a quick search of google yielded no such ties between Newman's Own and the PGA. The edit also suggested that all $200M went to the PGA, which is clearly false. Reverted.

== Slap Shot Rocks ==
Slap shot should be added to his main filmography. It's a cult classic 10:30, 8 Feb 07
