In all, Newman garnered eight Best Actor nods, winning once, plus being handed an Honorary Oscar and landing an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Newman died on September 26, 2008 and remains much missed by wife Joanne Woodward, family, friends, and colleagues. Click through the gallery for an appreciation of the life and work of one of cinema's most celebrated and respected actors.
