From 1953 to 2007, he enjoyed a prolific career as an actor, earning numerous accolades, including an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance in \u201cThe Color of Money\u201d (1986). He received multiple Oscar nominations over the years, solidifying his status as one of Hollywood\u2019s most celebrated actors.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/jokesdaddy.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2023%5C/10%5C/Bildschirmfoto-2023-10-11-um-21.04.36.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<p>Newman had two marriages. His first marriage, to Jacqueline Witte, lasted from 1949 to 1958, and they had three children together, including Newman\u2019s only son. He later married Joanne Woodward in 1958, and their union endured until his passing in 2008. The couple had three daughters together, making Newman the father of six children in total.\n\n\n\n</p><p>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();\n\n\n\n</p><p>In addition to his acting career, Newman founded the Newman\u2019s Own Foundation in 1982. This charitable organization sells food products and donates all of its profits directly to various causes. Over the years, the foundation has contributed a remarkable $570 million to charitable endeavors.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/jokesdaddy.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2023%5C/10%5C/new-one-with-48.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<p>However, despite all his success, Newman harbored two significant regrets in life, and they were related to his family.\n\n\n\n</p><p>The first regret centered around his relationship with his father. Newman\u2019s connection with his father was strained, and he felt that his father viewed him as a failure before his Hollywood stardom. Reflecting on his early days, Newman said, \u201cI think he thought I didn\u2019t show much promise in those days, and I tend to agree with him.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201d Sadly, his father passed away before witnessing his son\u2019s immense success, leaving Newman with the regret that his father had gone to his grave thinking of him as a failure.\n\n\n\n</p><p>The second regret concerned his relationship with his only son, Scott. Scott spent most of his life in the custody of Newman\u2019s first wife, Jacqueline Witte. He faced a troubled upbringing, had difficulties in school, and eventually dropped out of college.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/jokesdaddy.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2023%5C/10%5C/Bildschirmfoto-2023-10-11-um-21.06.08.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<p>Scott also ventured into acting and stunt work, but he struggled in the shadow of his famous father. In one candid moment, Scott expressed his challenges, stating, \u201cThey expect you to be like him, or they try to get to him through me \u2026 but I don\u2019t have his blue eyes. I don\u2019t have his talent. I don\u2019t have anything that\u2019s me.\u201d\n\n\n\n</p><p>Tragically, Scott\u2019s life was marked by alcoholism, prescription medication use due to a motorcycle accident, and other substance abuse issues. These factors ultimately contributed to his accidental overdose and untimely death in 1978 at the age of 28. Newman deeply regretted that he and his son hadn\u2019t been closer.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><div class='\"mh-excerpt\"'><p>Despite the incredible success and achievements throughout his life and career, Paul Newman carried two profound regrets, both of which were deeply personal rather than <a class='\"mh-excerpt-more\"' href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/sciencesandnatures.com%5C/the-two-major-regrets-paul-newman-had-at-the-time-of-his%5C/%5C%22" title='\"The' two major regrets paul newman had at the time of his>[&hellip;]\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4074,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4073"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4073"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4073\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4075,"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4073\/revisions\/4075"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}</a></p></div></figure></p></figure></p></figure></p>
