	== 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.

	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 double "and" is not good.

german ancestor, Neumann and Fetzer

His family name is defenitely neither ungarian nor polish, it is a typical german name "Neumann". So, yes, his father must have german speaking ancestors like germans or from austria-ungarian. And his mother, born Fetzer had a german name too.
