Nascut pe 26 ianuarie 1925 in Cleveland, OH, Paul Newman a luptat in al doilea razboi mondial.
S-a mutat in Illionis in 1947, unde s-a casatorit cu actrita Jacqueline Witte. S-a inscris apoi la Yale School of Drama. A intrerupt scoala si s-a dus la New York, unde a primit un rol in serialul de la CBS - The Aldrich Family. Au urmat o serie de roluri in seriale si in 1952 este acceptat de Actors' Studio, debutand pe Broadway un an mai tarziu in Picnic. Dupa ce a debutat pe marele ecran in dezastrul The Silver Chalice, el a devenit victima unei accidentari. 

Dupa ce joaca in The Desperate Hours pe Broadway, Warner Bros. ii mai prelungeste contractul cu inca 2 ani. Se reintoarce la Hollywood si joaca in The Rack. Al treilea sau film este Somebody Up There Likes Me, unde l-a interpretat pe boxerul Rocky Graziano. Filmul a fost un mare succes. Urmatorul film a fost The Long Hot Summer in 1958. Dupa ce a aparut in Billy the Kid, Newman a jucat alaturi de Elizabeth Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, film pentru care a primit o nominalizare Oscar. In The Hustler (1961) Newman il interpreteaza magistral pe "Fast" Eddie Felson, ceea ce ii aduce a doua nominalizare Oscar. A treia nominalizare o primeste pentru filmul Hud (1963), pentru rolul unui fermier texan. Pentru drama Cool Hand Luke (1967), primeste a patra nominalizare la Oscar. 

In urmatorul an isi face debutul ca regizor, cu filmul Rachel Rachel, ceea ce i-a adus premiul pentru cel mai bun regizor acordat de New York Critics si o nominalizare la Oscar pentru cel mai bun film. A jucat in 1969 impreuna cu Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, filmul western care a inregistrat cele mai mari incasari in istorie. Dupa ce a regizat si a jucat in Sometimes a Great Notion, Newman a fondat impreuna cu Barbra Streisand si Steve McQueen compania de productie First Artists. Dupa ce in 1972 a jucat in The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, regizat de John Huston, iar in anul 1973 in The Mackintosh Man, face din nou echipa cu Redford in The Sting, film care a castigat premiul Oscar. A urmat The Towering Inferno. In 1981 a jucat in succesul Absence of Malice, iar in 1982 primeste a V-a nominalizare la Oscar pentru The Verdict. Castiga in sfarsit premiul Oscar cu rolul Eddie Felson in anul 1986 cu The Color of Money, in regia lui Martin Scorsese.
