Does Paul Newman have cancer?


Although Paul Newman, 83, has side-stepped reports that he is gravely ill with cancer, his friend and longtime business associate confirmed the news.


Writer A.E. Hotchner, a founding partner in Newman's Own salad dressing company, told the Associatde Press Wednesday that Newman told him about his illness 18 months ago.


"Newman says he's doing nicely," the actor's Los Angeles spokesman, Jeff Sanderson, told media outlets on Tuesday. "He says he's doing nicely, and this is the statement I wanted to share with you, and that's what I have. I spoke to his office [in Connecticut]. This is the statement that came directly from him."


Rumors have circulated that Newman is being treated on an outpatient basis for lung cancer at Manhattan's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. A facility spokeswoman told Reuters she had no information about whether he is a patient.


Newman retired from acting last year, telling Good Morning America, "I'm not able to work anymore... at the level that I would want to." He recently withdrew from his role as director of Connecticut Westport Country Playhouse's production of John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" due to unspecified health issues.
