Can anyone confirm this?
According to John Morton, Paul is not expected to last more than a week or 2.
Picked up on the Healey list from the Vintage Race Group List ...
"8/13/2008 ... Lime Rock Park was closed down for an hour & a half today to honor Paul Newman. He was attended by his family, close friends, Skip Barber, mechanics on his race team, & those who happened to be at the track. PLN toured the track in his Corvette race car w/his Buick V8 powered Volvo station wagon following. He had come to say goodbye. Diagnosed w/terminal cancer, he is not expected to live beyond September. Race driver, actor, humanitarian, family man & friend - they did not come any better."
Sad news, indeed.

Newman told an interviewer with the British magazine Motor Sports that racing was a bigger passion for him than acting.
That said, "Cool Hand Luke" is a great film.
