I really hope this story isn't true!  Paul Newman is reportedly battling lung cancer and has been suffering for several months.  He is said to have pulled out of directing a big-screen adaptation of John Steinbeck's book Of Mice and Men.

A friend told the National Enquirer:

"We have known he is seriously ill for several weeks but his loved ones are being very protective and saying very little."

Apparently, a cancer patient in March claimed he had regularly seen Newman at the hospital. He said:

"He's been there a lot, he's even worked out in the waiting room, doing the squat thrusts. Last time, he was in there he had a long beard. Joanne is there waiting for him and being very sweet with the assistants."

Last year, it was mentioned that he was retiring from acting. I was sad about that, but I hope it wasn't because he knew he was ill.

Oh, this is heartbreaking.  I love Paul Newman - he's one of my favorite actors and is a great humanitarian.  I sincerely hope that the National Enquirer got it wrong.
