TODAY IS: Paul Newman's birthday -- the Hollywood great is 76. A multiple Academy Award winner, Newman has been appearing on screen for nearly half a century, since 1954's THE SILVER CHALICE. But the role Newman is probably most identified with is that of a prisoner with a problem with authority in 1967's COOL HAND LUKE -- which isn't, incidentally, the role for which Newman won his acting Oscar.
