raspberrywolf Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 They just don't make 'em like him anymore....an amazingly gifted actor and an even more amazingly generous humanitarian. Mankind has lost one of its "good guys". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Oh No......I just heard it too. Paul was one of my favorite actors! Aww man.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 My mom said he's been ill for awhile - he had the bluest eyes and always seemed like such a nice man - and one hell of an actor and charitable guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelina Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Whoa....what a shame. Women wanted to be with him...and men wanted to BE him.My memory of Paul Newman is one evening almost 20 years ago in the NYC theater district. He and his wife were chatting with some members of the Guardian Angels in the most unassuming manner right on 46th Street. He seemed like a very down-to-earth fellow....and yes his eyes were very blue. R.I.P.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Nivan Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Very sad news, but a life so well led.Indeed, a *Star* and, yes, by all accounts one of the "Good Guys".Mrs. K is in shock. He will always be her Favorite. (Though she drew the line at "The Road to Perdition" -- one of the few disagreements of our 26 years together.)And leave it to BHPat to invoke "Slapshot", what a fun movie.Paul Newman's passing means time is truly marching on; sometimes faster than I'd like.It leaves an empty feeling.RIP, Paul Newman."Keith" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 In addition to everything else, he was a 'car guy'. Loved to race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Davie Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I'm so very sad about this news. The way he led his life, and how he gave back to others should be taught in college. "Paul Newman 101" would teach others about selflessness, and following your own heart & soul, instead of what others tell you. The world is less one inspirational figure today.

Laura Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I'm very sad about this too. He was a great actor, and I loved many of his movies. RIP Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I met him at Lime Rock when I first got married. Herman's brother's son was on the pit crew of his racing team and he was so down to earth and a truly fantastic guy.I'm afraid I couldn't get much else out except "Hi" and "I love your work," because he was truly mindshocking. Those eyes and that smile stopped me dead in my tracks. I have a picture of myself posing with his race car. So cool.He was truly a great actor, a master of his craft. He and Joanne shared a great great love--she must be devastated. They both love humanity as well and their lives didn't go untouched by tragedy with son Scott Newman. Paul's sense of humor trumped everyone's--my nephew Jason said those eyes would dance and he'd come out with a real zinger.I was SO very fortunate to have met him and been in the presence of greatness. The other time (besides Eric and Raspberries, speaking of greatness) was meeting and having a great conversation with actor Robert Wagner, who knew Paul and also was into racing. They don't make 'em like those two anymore. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Sorry to hear about this. I always enjoyed his craft and you never hear(d) bad things about him... a decent and honorable man; few and far between in "that crowd"...

sterling Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Paul Newman was an actor and a humanitarian. He donated over $250 million dollars from his Paul Newman foods to charity. He also runs a camp for terminally ill kids. And on top of that a top notch actor and director. I really enjoyed him over the years in Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy, The Sting and the list goes on! Paul thanks for all the great movies and contributions to make this a better place because of your efforts. You will be sorely missed.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy K. Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 You guys said it all. I can't think of anything else. He was one of the best, and certainly one of a kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fresh Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Paul Newman was truly an icon among actors,as well as a selfless and giving human being.He will be sorely missed and mourned worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy-Ann Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 One of my mother's "crushes." She heard the news and looked at me and said that all of her "loves" are gone...Robert Stack, Paul Newman and my Daddy. I reminded her about Sean Connery, that he is still alive...she replied, "He'd be a one night stand!" and she grinned and started to giggle. I guess at 81, you can say and do anything you want.

AnneG Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 what's sad is what i just read from robert redford..if you have a chance,go to the news and see what he said about paul and their "plans"..They were planning to star in a movie adaptation of Bill Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods" (great book, by the way). They would have been perfect in it. If that movie is ever made, I won't be able to see it without thinking of those two gallant men.
