Happy 50th Anniversary To Paul Newman And Joanne Woodward! - Page 2
"After Thanksgiving, his family became concerned and took him to see a New York specialist.
"He was admitted right away into the hospital where he underwent surgery.
"He's bounced back now but he's not a well man and people in his company are trying to keep this very quiet." He added.
Another friend of the star also confirmed to a US magazine that Newman had recently undergone a "major medical procedure".
But he seems to have convalesced well, and this minor setback hasn't stopped him from being his old self:
An observer at Newman's restaurant added: "Paul does look frail and his thinning hair has gone nearly white."But he does seem feisty for a man of his advanced years.
"After exchanging small talk with some employees he and Joanne got into matching steel-grey SUV's to follow one another home.
"Before Paul left he played speed racer and gunned it for a couple of laps around the parking lot."
Yep, that sounds like Paul Newman, always the auto racer. He owns a stake in Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing, a Champ car team, and recently narrated Dale, a film about the late Dale Earnhardt. He was also the voice of Doc Hudson in the animated movie Cars, both projects continuing his life-long love of auto racing.
So I raise my glass to a couple of true living legends, and recipients of a Breath Of Fresh Air award. I certainly hope that they have a wonderful day today and many more happy years together!
