Actor Paul Newman says he has given up acting.
"I'm not able to work any more as an actor at the level I would want to," Newman (82) told ABC's Good Morning America.
"You start to lose your memory, your confidence, your invention. So that's pretty much a closed book for me."
Newman, star of films such as Hud, Cool Hand Luke and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, added: "I've been doing it for 50 years. That's enough."
Newman plans to focus on the Dressing Room, his organic restaurant in Westport, Connecticut, and his Hole in the Wall Gang camps for critically ill children.
His Newman's Own brand of salad dressings, pasta sauces, popcorn and salsa has raised more than $200 million for charities. Newman, who won an Oscar for his leading role in 1986's The Color of Money, was last seen — or heard, rather — as the voice of Doc Hudson in the 2006 animated feature Cars.
