And was a damn fine race car driver(even in his 60s!)! I saw him many times at Lime Rock. Paul Newman’s last major triumph came in 1995 at the age of 70 when he co-drove to victory in the IMSA GTS class at the 24 Hours of Daytona

A still from from one of his most famous movies, THE HUSTLER (1961) with Jackie Gleason. For his role as Fast Eddie Felson, a cocky young pool player who takes on the legendary Minnesota Fats (Gleason) for serious money, Newman was trained by pool pro Willie Mosconi for Fast Eddie's close-up shots, and Mosconi himself made the trick shots in the film.
