In fact, Newman saw a psychiatrist to help him deal with his feelings of remorse and depression.

Despite the turmoil that surrounded their relationship's beginnings, Newman and Woodward went on to build a strong and lasting partnership that lasted until Newman's death in 2008. The couple worked together on several films, including "The Long, Hot Summer," "Rachel, Rachel," and "The Drowning Pool," and their onscreen chemistry was matched only by the depth of their love for one another offscreen.

Woodward has not died. She lives in Westport, Connecticut, where she and Newman raised their daughters. She has retreated from public life since she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2007.

Newman is without doubt the handsomest man in Hollywood & possibly in the USA! A good actor with several excellent films & now a legend.

[donnaabrams]

He was one of the most handsome and charismatic actors of all time. If he only had one affair, he could be classified a saint. He and Joanne Woodward were made for each other.

[MM-yizn]

Way too handsome to be real! What a classic face & those astonishing blue eyes. A great actor too!

[ceciliaseiber]

Who cares the man has been dead for about 15 years. If Joanne forgave him it’s no one else business

The story about Paul Newman that always stuck with me was when he was making some movie with a young starlet who had to bare her breasts. She was Very nervous and had a hard time doing the scene, was hesitant about doing it. But when she finally did, she came into the scene where she's looking at Paul and his eyes locked with hers and Never wavered. He kept her gaze and never looked down. That spoke a ton about integrity and making choices. He chose not to. That says a lot about his character. Always loved him just for that moment.

I always had a tremendous crush on Paul Newman. I found him irresistibly sexy and admired him for his philanthropic efforts and his fifty year marriage to Joanne Woodward. He had good moral and ethical principles.

[annarichter]

He was, throughout his life, the most beautiful man on earth.

[MM-yizn]

Mr Neuman was filming Me and Mrs Bridges back in my hometown; Kansas City in 1987. I watched them film the outdoor scenes but didn't see the Neumans so I went on home about 3 miles away. On my way to my car I saw a dog chained to a shade tree and so I sat under the tree with the dog petting him. A man was standing smiling as I pet the dog. So he sat with us. I looked at the man eye to eye and said " Sir is this your dog? And if so do you mind I pet him?" I gasped at his smile and those blue eyes alone under a shade tree when he said " that's ok if you pet him and it was Paul Neuman!" I became nervous and said " yes you both look so much alike: your dog looks like you". He said " what is that suppose to mean??!!". I saw where my dumb comment pissed him off and I said " No No your not a dog sir!!". I cried all the way home and my husband giggled " heck ya he was mad your the only one who ever called him a dog!!" 😢😢

I knew they started their relationship with Paul still married. I was training at Cedar Sinai mental health center when Scott Neuman was there for treatment. His parents tried everything to help him... It was a big shock when he killed himself. But it was known Scott had huge problems 😢

What a marvellous and talented couple!Loved Newman in Cool hand Luke movie!

[Steaks]

He was such a good looking fella and talent, he did well to only have one affair.

[ronniecozzi]

That he didn't have thousands of women as some men/celebrities did or say they did he deserves credit for.

[douglasj.arcuri]

Didn’t he say something like why have hamburgers out when you can have steak at home?

[Leader-fqdq]
