Paul Newman: I'm Ready to Retire (http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Movies/03/11/film.newmanat80.ap/index.html)


The movie legend, whose piercing blue eyes have lit up screens for five decades, says he'll give up the activities he once described as his two great passions -- acting and motor racing. "I think both are winding down," Newman told The Associated Press during an interview Friday. "I'll probably race for another year."

i wonder if by racing he means "actively driving" or "running a race team" or perhaps both...

He talks about spending more time with his wife, so I would expect that at a minimum he would be spending fewer weekends at the track. I wouldn't think that he would have had the clout to keep Haas in line if he were planning on dropping his involvement entirely, but who knows.

Geesh. Shill out. It's not like we're trying to take away your Grandpa's jello.

Damn, most legends have already quit driving for thirty years by the time they are 80! But then again, it's not like Newman's been doing 35 races a year with sponsor commitments the whole time.

PLN = One. :cool: Dude.

Hopefully he stays actively involved with N/H, and lives to be 110.

Personally, I can't imagine having a much better career to look back on. The acting, the racing, the $150 million he's raised for charity... :thumbup:

Hard to come up with an all around classier individual.

[Ankf00]

he'll still be one bad dude. it'll be sad when he stops coming by the track :(

Paul Newman is a pure class act in everything he does. He is so vigorous at 80 that it's hard to think of him as being that old! No doubt he has earned the right to some down-time--but I'll sure miss seeing him around the track when he hangs up the team-owner hat.

Add to his class quotient the fact that he's been married to the same woman for upteen many years. :thumbup:

Those of us who have done it now how hard that is. Those who haven't know how tough that is, especially within the hollywood crowd.

(Funny coincident... I finally saw "Winning" last night on TMC. Not the best of movies, but Joanne and Paul played their parts very well. I was distracted with the knowledge that in real life they would have 35+ more years of marriage ahead of them. Maybe Frank and Elora Capau did as well)

If there was ever a gentleman racer, it was PN. He is the definition of class and it makes me proud that he chooses to field a team in my favorite series
