Why did they marry each other on two different dates? Maybe there is a missing fact which should be mentioned? |

Perhaps more detailed research should be done to include a more complete history of Paul Newman's acting career. I have recently viewed an episode of Suspense (TV series) in which he appeared briefly (as Captain Radetski) in the second act, and more prominently in the third act. The episode: "Woman in Love" (episode #160) aired August 26, 1952; . |

The article states that Newman met Woodward on the set of The Long Hot Summer. Newman met Woodward while working as understudies in New York on the play "Picnic". By 1958, Newman was already separated from his wife, he and Woodward were living together in California, and married this same year. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 03:31, 29 February 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== Second paragraph of Military Service == |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a confusing paragraph. Looking at reference 13, I can understand some of what happened, but our paragraph is badly phrased, at best. The squadron he was assigned to was sent to an unknown carrier, but his aircraft was grounded from that assignment because of the pilot's ear infection. The others (all?) in the squadron were killed on that carrier. He then performed further service. If I knew more about it I'd try to fix it, but someone should. ] (]) 14:20, 5 January 2013 (UTC) |

== Birthplace == |

There seems to be conflicting info about his birthplace. I see Shaker Heights (, , ), Cleveland Heights (, , ), and Cleveland ( ). Does anyone have sources of official records or cities claiming him? Given the sources, I'm most inclined to believe it's Cleveland Heights (as noted by local newspapers and historians), but felt it was worth discussion. ] (]) 16:07, 27 September 2013 (UTC) |

|
There seems to be a dispute about the infobox image and I think it might be a good idea to discuss this rather than continue to revert each other. My personal view is that the ] is a better image because the ] looks like it was taken while Newman was on the toilet and the lighting makes it harder to look at.-- ] (]) 09:02, 30 December 2013 (UTC) |

*My position is fairly obvious; the publicity shot is awful. The lighting is utter garbage, and it makes him look very unpleasant. I cannot understand why people think that is an acceptable picture to use, given how poor the colours are. I'd be perfectly happy with the 1954 picture; the lighting is reasonable, he doesn't look like he's badly ill, and there's nothing wrong with black-and-white. The 1987 one isn't really that good, and he's quite a lot older in that one. ] ] (legitimate alternate account of ]) 13:22, 30 December 2013 (UTC) |

|
|
:*It's highly unlikely that the image itself was from 2006; that is two years before he died, and he would've been 81. If you look at the deletion thread on Commons, you'll see that the copyright is attributed to the company who initially uploaded the still, and not the original image creators; I would expect that request to fail. ] ] (legitimate alternate account of ]) 20:08, 30 December 2013 (UTC) |

**The Getty Images version of the color publicity shot is much better than the version being debated, but it is watermarked.

It seems that about Newman's mother is contentious. Rather than edit warring, it seems sensible to discuss this here. |

My view is that the assertions made shouldn't be in the article because they seem to imply something through an ], rather than any secondary source that provide actual evidence that Newman's mother isn't of the ancestry stated in the article. -- ] (]) 20:20, 4 January 2014 (UTC) |

::In edit summary, the IP editor mentioned a link to a St. Mary's University of Minnesota web page that discusses the advantages of primary sources in doing research at the university level. That is all well and good for university research. But Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia and we simply don't publish ] of any kind. Instead, we summarize what the best quality ] say about the topic. The best of these will be secondary sources. "Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation." Accordingly, I am not comfortable relying on what someone says they saw in an immigration document for a factual assertion in this biography. Instead, we should summarize what the best biographers of Newman say about his ancestry. ] ] 03:34, 5 January 2014 (UTC) |

= Note on a RfC about "military careers" = |
|
|
|
|
|
There is currently a discussion and a RfC on ]'s article about his so-called "military career," noted by an infobox module. Since his military service, similar to that of ], was for a few years and ''before'' their actual careers began, inserting a massive module in the standard infobox, as in this article, seems both misleading and erroneous. For Newman, his "military career" module takes up about 25% of the infobox, while his notability is for being an actor. And like the others, he never had a "military career."--] (]) 02:07, 6 September 2016 (UTC) |

== Voice acting == |
|
|
|
|
|
Dear IP, |
|
|
|
|
|
please explain first why you wish to remove the "voice acting" designations, but only if the last edit log and it's content did not convince you. Thank You(] (]) 19:19, 6 February 2018 (UTC)) |

It's basically the same thing as acting, as I explained it in the edit summary of the edit. Only if they are notable to have more than 100 voice credits, like ] and ] for example. Because not ever celebrity on here is credited as a voice actor, just a few. ] (]) 16:44, 11 February 2019 (UTC) |

:: I am torn between both points you guys are making. I agree that Newman shouldn't have a voice acting section, however the section shouldn't be deleted until someone moves these credits in the respective year of release.] (]) 19:05, 25 April 2019 (UTC) |

== Major films intro? == |
|
|
|
|
|
His biggest performance in my mind is Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958), should be mentioned in the intro. It is a spell to see it. (But it is not in the style like his later cast.) |
|
|
|
|
|
The main text writes: |
|
|
In 1958, he starred in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958), opposite Elizabeth Taylor. The film was a box-office smash, and Newman garnered his first Academy Award nomination. |

== Redundances == |

1. "That performance led to his breakthrough role as Rocky Graziano in the film Somebody Up There Likes Me in 1956. The Dean connection had additional resonance. Newman was cast as Billy the Kid in The Left Handed Gun which was a role originally earmarked for Dean. Additionally, Dean was originally cast to play the role of Rocky Graziano in Somebody Up There Likes Me; however, with his death, Paul Newman inherited the role." |
|
|
|
|
|
''Somebody up there likes me'' and Rocky Graziano are repetitive. |

:Not sure what you are referring to, but if indeed we talk about a lawsuit whose resolution is not available, we may want to omit. Commercial disputes are common and may not be notable. ] (]) 19:47, 31 January 2024 (UTC) |
|
2. "For Newman's support of Eugene McCarthy in 1968 (and effective use of television commercials in California) and his opposition to the Vietnam War, Newman was placed nineteenth on Richard Nixon's enemies list, which Newman claimed was his greatest accomplishment." |

:The suit was actually filed in 1985 and was dismissed! I've taken it out. Thank you Mr. or Ms. IP. ] (]) 20:28, 31 January 2024 (UTC) |

The double "and" is not good. |

his father was not the son of immigrants from hungary, because there were no hungary, it was "Kaisertum Österreich". ] (]) 12:04, 10 March 2024 (UTC) |

== Newman German ancestor == |

== Newman = original: Neumann == |

|
|
in german language there exists no Newman, but Neumann. Newman ist the english translated version of the german family name Neumann. So imo his grandfather changed his name in this english version by immigrating in USA. |
|
He hat definitely german ancestors, because Newman is english for german Neumann, a frequently german family name. It is no polish family name. ] (]) 06:50, 12 October 2022 (UTC) |
