The blue-eyed star of films like Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid had died at home on Friday surrounded by family and close friends, said Jeff Sanderson.
Newman was nominated for an Oscar 10 times, winning the best actor trophy in 1987 for The Color Of Money.
His Butch Cassidy co-star Robert Redford led tributes, saying: "I have lost a real friend."
"There is a point where feelings go beyond words," he added.
"My life - and this country - is better for his being in it."
The star's five daughters also paid tribute to their father's "selfless humility and generosity".
"Paul Newman played many unforgettable roles," they said in a statement
"But the ones for which he was proudest never had top billing on the marquee: Devoted husband, loving father, adoring grandfather, dedicated philanthropist." |
