Best Answer

Paul Leonard Newman was born in the Shaker Heights suburb of Cleveland in 1925, the son of Arthur and Theresa Newman.

His father, the owner of a prosperous sporting goods store, was Jewish, and his mother Catholic. Both were descendants of East European immigrants. His mother later became a Christian Scientist, but Paul Newman always identified himself as a Jew, because, he said, "It is more of a challenge."
