Cancer Battle Confirmed

Paul Newman‘s longtime neighbor and business partner confirmed on Wednesday that the screen legend is battling cancer.

Writer A.E. Hotchner, who partnered with Newman to start Newman’s Own salad dressing company, said the actor told him about the disease about 18 months ago.

Hotchner doesn’t say what kind of cancer the legendary actor has but said Newman is in active treatment.

Get well, Mr. Newman!

May your days be pain-free and surrounded by loved ones.
