Dying Newman’s meerkat film
Updated on 05 August 2009
Just months before he died last year, the late Paul Newman lent his voice to a wildlife documentary about meerkats which opens on Friday. Stephanie West reports.

Although seriously ill, the 83-year-old managed to narrate the full length docu-film which finally opens in British cinemas this weekend.
The Meerkats follows a family of the tiny creatures in the drought plains of the Kalahari and Newman's narrative was written by the author, Alexander McCall Smith.
