R.I.P. Paul Newman
This is sad. One of the great film actors we've ever had, and one of the most decent men. Cancer sucks, but he went out the best way I can imagine.

He could have been my grandfather.. my grandma used to go out with him. Other than that I really have no feelings towards him. Saw a little bit on the news today, I guess he was a humanitarian and did good things with his money.

I just saw this.
 Thank you for all the wonderful films you made and for being such an inspiration and role model for all of us. Rest in peace.Quote:

Good innings.
He got on Nixon's enemies list. That's awesome.

A great actor. I enjoyed him even in movies that weren't very good, which is a nice testament.
On another topic, Jaye and Pink are free to crush on him now, which I'm sure means he died with a smile on his face

He went to my university for a while and was supposedly told by some professor in Drama that he didn't have the kind of talent it takes to get ahead in Acting. He was either kicked out ( or got into trouble ) for riding a motorcycle through a dormitory, was the legend.
One of my professors ( Walter Tevis ) wrote the book that Paul made famous in the movie - "The Hustler" about playing pool. My favorite movies with Paul that come to mind were "Cool Hand Luke", "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", and "Hud" I suppose. He was always a modest guy, despite his fame. A lot of women were crazy about him. I remember our next door neighbor was one of them, when I was in High School. If Sinatra wasn't already called "old Blue Eyes" I think Paul might have got the title from those ladies. Or do I remember it wrong ? Maybe it was Paul who was called that. *scratches chin * Bye Paul....

He's been one of two of my favorite actors since I was a kid.
Goodbye Paul.
