Born in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and raised in Shaker Heights, the eastern suburbs of Cleveland, Newman showed an interest in theater as a child and at age 10 performed in a stage production of ''Saint George and the Dragon'' at the Cleveland Play House. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in drama and economics from Kenyon College in 1949. After touring with several summer stock companies including the Belfry Players, Newman attended the Yale School of Drama for a year before studying at the Actors Studio under Lee Strasberg. His first starring Broadway role was in William Inge's ''Picnic'' in 1953 and his final was in Thornton Wilder’s ''Our Town'' in 2003.
Newman won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in ''The Color of Money'' (1986).
