Meet Paul Newman's three children from his first marriage before meeting Joanne Woodward

Alan Scott Newman was born in September 1950, the Cool Hand Luke star's only son. As a teenager, Scott dropped out of college to start working as a stuntman in his father's films. Scott struggled with being clubbed under the "Newman" name, wanting to forge an identity of his own. Eventually, he was able to accrue credits in films like The Towering Inferno (1974) and Fraternity Row (1977).

Scott struggled with alcoholism later in his life, and in 1978, he died of an accidental overdose of valium and alcohol with other drugs. His devastated father established the Scott Newman Center in 1980, dedicated to providing education on dealing with substance abuse.

Susan Kendall Newman, born in 1953, was an actress and producer, first appearing in off-Broadway shows in the 1970s and starred in the 1978 film I Wanna Hold Your Hand. Through her work as a producer, she has received nominations for a Golden Globe, a Humanitas Award, Emmys, a Peabody Award, and a Grammy Award, most notably for the 1980 telefilm The Shadow Box, co-starring her stepmother Joanne.

She later turned to advocacy and philanthropy, working with the Scott Newman Center and later the Newman's Own Foundation. She and her half-sister Nell filed a lawsuit against their family's foundation for "questionable practices" in 2022, although it was dropped in 2022. Susan passed away at the age of 72 in August 2025, with her obituary stating she was known "for her sharp wit and tongue, generosity and love, and her devotion to family and friends."

Stephanie Kendall Newman, now 71, was born in 1954 to Paul and Jackie, their youngest child. Little is known about her life now, as she has remained out of the spotlight. A Vanity Fair story from 2015 notes that she "leads a quiet life away from the family business and foundation." 

Stephanie did make an appearance in Ethan Hawke's 2022 miniseries The Last Movie Stars about her father Paul and stepmom Joanne.
