This sad news is from the LA Times …Paul Newman is reportedly very ill with cancer
According to reports, Paul Newman, 83 and a former chain-smoker, has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.
The acclaimed actor is said to have been diagnosed at New York’s Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where he is currently receiving outpatient treatment and is under a leading New York oncologist's care. One of the few to know about Newman's illness is his "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" costar and good pal, Robert Redford.
As well as being an acclaimed actor, Newman is also the founder of Newman's Own, which offers spaghetti sauce and salad dressing. The company donates all its earning to charity, with earnings reaching more than $100 million since its creation.
Newman has made major contributions to those less fortunate, including being on the board of directors for the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, an organization that creates camps for terminally ill children.
No confirmation from the hospital or from Newman's camp.
I know...it's a bummer! My husband broke the news to me yesterday! I was devastated! But, it's better it waited until he was 83 to plague him!
