Raymond Massey

He has two children who followed him into acting: Anna Massey and Daniel Massey. He has said that this is one of his life's proudest achievements. Massey became well-known on television in the 1950s and 1960s, especially in his role as Doctor Gillespie in the series Doctor Kildare. For his strong support of Eugene McCarthy in 1968 (and effective use of television commercials in California), Newman was 19th on Richard Nixon's enemies list. Following the war, he became an American citizen. In 1994, the Motion Picture Academy awarded him The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in recognition of his charitable work. He rejoined the Canadian Army during World War II, and was wounded and invalided out in 1943. Named for the gang in his film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, it is a camp for seriously ill children he cofounded in 1986.

Despite being Canadian, Massey became famous for his quintessential American roles, as Abraham Lincoln in 1940's Abe Lincoln in Illinois (for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor), in 1941's Santa Fe Trail, in which he played abolitionist John Brown, and as Lincoln again in 1962's How the West Was Won. One beneficiary of his charity is the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, located between Ashford and Eastford, Connecticut. Early in Massey's career, Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln (1843-1926), heard Massey perform and was struck by the close similarity of Massey's speaking voice to that of his father. He cowrote a memoir about the subject, Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Good (ISBN 0385508026). G. Wells' Things to Come. As of 2003, the franchise has resulted in $150 million in donations. In 1936 he starred in H. Newman donates the proceeds, after taxes, to charity.

His first movie role was High Treason in 1927, and he played Sherlock Holmes in The Speckled Band in the following year. The brand started with salad dressing, and has expanded to include pasta sauce, lemonade, popcorn, and salsa, amoung other things. However, drawn to the theater, in 1922 he appeared on the London stage. Newman founded Newman's Own, a line of food products, in 1982. Severely wounded in action in France, he was sent home where he eventually worked in the family business, selling farm implements. He is the now the oldest driver to win a major sanctioned race, having won the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1995 at the age of 70. His first stage appearance was in Siberia, where he entertained the American troops who were on occupation duty. He cofounded Newman/Haas Racing in 1983.

At the outbreak of World War I he joined the Canadian Army. As a gentlemen driver Paul Newman ran the 24 hours of Le Mans once in 1979, driving a Porsche 935, he finished second. He was educated at Upper Canada College, the University of Toronto and at Balliol College, Oxford, England. His first professional event was in 1972, in Thompson, Connecticut. Born in Toronto, Ontario, he was the son of Hart Massey, the wealthy owner of the Massey-Ferguson Tractor Company. He first became interested in the sport ("the first thing that I ever found I had any grace in") while filming Winning, a 1968 film. Raymond Hart Massey (August 30, 1896 - July 29, 1983) was a Canadian actor. Newman is known as the co-owner of the Newman-Haas team a CART Championship auto racing team.

He was also nominated for an Emmy Award for his lead role in a 2003 production of Our Town.

^** Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. The award came a year after he won an honorary Oscar for his "many and memorable and compelling screen performances.".

Although frequently nominated, Newman has won only one Oscar in a competitive category, for his leading role on The Color of Money in 1986. His rebellious persona translated well to a subsequent generation. Newman was one of the few actors who successfully made the transition from 1950s to the 1960s and 1970s cinema. His first movie, The Silver Chalice has been described by Newman as the "worst movie of the entire 1950s decade", but he rebounded with a series of acclaimed roles.

While he was attending graduate school at Yale, he became a successful stage actor on Broadway. When he returned to America he attended Kenyon College and Yale University. He served in the Navy in World War II, in the Pacific theater. He was born in Shaker Heights, Ohio to a Catholic mother and a Jewish father who owned a successful sporting goods store.
