Actor Paul Newman passes away at 83

Pixar's animated film, Cars, was among the last work of celebrated actor Paul Newman. He voiced the role of Lightning McQueen's mentor, Doc Hudson--quite appropriate given Newman's love of auto racing.

Newman was diagnosed with cancer more than a year ago. He is best known for his roles in such films as "The Colour of Money" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".
