Paul Newman, 83, reportedly has been given only weeks to live and had returned home to his wife Joanne Woodward.
“Paul didn’t want to die in the hospital,” a source said. “Joanne and his daughters are beside themselves with grief.”
The source, a close family friend said that Newman – who co-owns a motor racing team and has his own salad dressing brand – had spent the past few weeks getting his affairs in order.
Rumors have said that Paul Newman’s actions had caused tension among of his children.
“He gave a prized car , a Ferrari with his racing number 82 on it, to a good friend,” the source said. “The sudden move angered his children. It’s especially hard for them to come to grips with what’s going on.”
The family friend says, “The word they’ve been given is that he has only a few weeks to live.”
