Though best known for starring in such iconic movies as The Hustler, Hud, Cool Hand Luke, The Sting and Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, as well as his Oscar-winning performance in The Color of Money, Newman was also a steady presence on television, from his early roles in live TV adaptations of Bang The Drum Slowly and Hemingway's The Battler, to his numerous appearances on daytime talk shows like The Mike Douglas Show, to his Golden Globe- and Emmy-winning performance in HBO's Empire Falls.
