Cover of Huntington Quarterly with Paul Newman, Winter 1993. Paul Newman passed away on September 26, 2008 at his Westport, Connecticut home after a long battle with cancer. He was 83. Approximately one year before his death he learned of the fire that destroyed the Huntington Quarterly offices. He then mailed Editor Jack Houvouras a signed photograph that read: "To Jack, Sorry about the fire – Best! Paul Newman." He remained, until his last days, one of the most generous, thoughtful and down-to-earth stars of his generation.
