PAUL Newman has finished chemotherapy and has told his family he wants to die at home.

The Oscar-winning actor was pictured being pushed from a New York cancer hospital in a wheelchair.

Yesterday, it was reported in America that Newman, 83, had 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, described as a close family friend, said that the star had spent the past few weeks getting his affairs in order.

It was claimed that some of 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 long-time pal," the friend said.

"The sudden move angered his children. It's especially hard for them to come to grips with what's going on.

"The word they've been given is that he has only a few weeks to live."

Newman married Woodward in 1958 and the couple have three daughters.

It was reported last month that he had been readying their oldest child, Nell, to take over his Newman's Own salad dressings company, the profits of which are given to a charitable foundation.

He also has two daughters from his first marriage to Jackie Witte.

Newman has so far declined to comment on his condition, apart from saying he is "doing nicely".

Rumours about his health surfaced in January. Three months ago, he withdrew from directing a production of Of Mice and Men in his home town of Westport, Connecticut.

Damn shame really. To be honest, I've never watched any of his work, however, I've seen the guy's face all over all kinds of things at the grocery store, and he seemed like a genuinley good person. Hate to see him go.

That's a funny response, to tell you the truth. Watch some of his stuff, he was pretty good.

Well obviously, what we've got here is a failure to communicate!

It seems like I've been hearing Paul Newman has a few weeks to live for the past two years. I'll believe it when I hear it from the man himself.

Definitely watch The Hustler or The Sting, but Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Nobody's Fool, Cool Hand Luke, The Verdict, Road to Perdition, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are great films as well.

Yea, although I've always thought the pic on the dressing bottle looks more like Maury Povich. Seriously though, Best wishes to Paul.

Can't go without a fav Simpsons qoute of mine-

"Oh no,the corn! Aww Paul Newman's gonna have my legs broke."

he and liz taylor in 'cat on a hot tin roof' make pretty much the most impossibly good-looking couple you could ever hope to see.
