'Paul Newman was a great dad'

2008-09-27 21:39

Los Angeles - Paul Newman's daughters paid tribute to their father's "selfless humility and generosity" on Saturday after the Hollywood legend's death from cancer at 83.

"Paul Newman played many unforgettable roles," the statement read.

"But the ones for which he was proudest never had top billing on the marquee. Devoted husband. Loving father. Adoring grandfather. Dedicated philanthropist."

Newman, who passed away on Friday, had six children, three from an early marriage that ended in divorce and three with actress Joanne Woodward, whom he married in 1958. He had five daughters and one son, Scott, who died of a drug overdose in 1978.

"Our father was a rare symbol of selfless humility, the last to acknowledge what he was doing was special," his daughters said on Saturday. "Intensely private, he quietly succeeded beyond measure in impacting the lives of so many with his generosity.

"Always and to the end, Dad was incredibly grateful for his good fortune. In his own words, 'it's been a privilege to be here.'

"He will be profoundly missed by those whose lives he touched, but he leaves us with extraordinary inspiration to draw upon."

"During this difficult time, we ask for privacy for our family."
