I've never been much of one for celebrity worship and I don't usually reply to these threads but Newman really was special. R.I.P.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

yes, we heard

 

[DesertPirate]

1 Oscar as an actor
106 wins as a race car owner

What he did with the profits from Newmans Own and starting the Hole in the Wall Gang Camps is the best part of all.

 

[Roxanne Appleby]

Oh no!

Cool Hand Luke.

Butch and Sundance.

Many more.

RIP - He lived a good life.

 

[Selena_Kitt]

But mine didn't have those periods in between like that and all...

 

[starrkers]

Oh, crap.
He was supposed to be immortal.

Paul Newman was indeed a great man. I enjoyed his classic roles that have been mentioned and his more recent roles as the crime boss Rooney in 'Road to Perdition' and Doc Hudson in 'Cars'. The man has passed, but the legend will always be with us. May many as rich in money and talent as Paul be inspired to follow his example and live as well as he.
