Paul Newman lived several lives in one. Navy veteran, Hollywood star, racing driver, philanthropist. He notably co-founded Newman’s Own in 1982 and gave away every dollar of profit, over $600 million to date.

He caught the racing bug at 44, while filming Winning in 1969, training under Formula One driver Bob Bondurant for the role, and most men would have left it there. Newman went on to race competitively for the next 35 years, entering under the name P.L. Newman to keep the studios from finding out, winning four SCCA national championships and finishing second at Le Mans in 1979. At 70, he became the oldest driver ever part of a winning team in a major sanctioned race, and he raced his last event at 82, finished fourth, and said afterwards he wished he was 81 again.

The way he dressed matched the way he lived, white T-shirts, straight leg jeans, worn jackets, boots, the Persol 649 sunglasses and a Rolex Daytona he wore because he raced. It was style that came from how he actually lived, not something built for the cameras.

When Playboy asked how he stayed faithful to Joanne Woodward through decades in Hollywood, he didn’t pause. Why go out for hamburger when you have steak at home.

Some men are famous for what they do, whereas Newman was famous for who he was. Here are our archives of the great man.
