Good guy and a great actor.

God Bless - we lost a great one. I just watched Hud last week. Time to pull out the Cool Hand Luke and Butch and Sundance DVDs.

 

[RabidLonghorn]

The world has lost a great actor and human.

RIP

I knew the day was coming. Hell we've had a few threads on here about him being sick...
I don't normally get wrapped up in stars lives, or get emotionally tied to them, but this one (like Jack Lemmon) is real tough for me.

In a way Paul Newman kept me kinda close to my mom (who passed in 2005). She liked him a lot as well.

Great actor and person. HUD, Cool Hand Luke and several other of his films are favorites of mine.

RIP

A little extra about Paul Newman.

The Link

"Newman served in the Navy in World War II in the Pacific theater. Newman was sent to the Navy V-12 program at Ohio University, with hope of being accepted for pilot training, but this plan was foiled when a flight physical revealed him to be colorblind. He was sent instead to boot camp and then on to further training as a radioman and gunner. Qualifying as a rear-seat radioman and gunner in torpedo bombers, in 1944, Aviation Radioman Third Class Newman was sent to Barber's Point, Hawaii, and subsequently assigned to Pacific-based replacement torpedo squadrons (VT-98, VT-99, and VT-100). These torpedo squadrons were responsible primarily for training replacement pilots and combat air crewmen, placing particular importance on carrier landings. He later flew from aircraft carriers as a tail gunner in the Avenger. As a radioman/gunner, he served aboard the USS Bunker Hill during the battle for Okinawa in the spring of 1945. He was ordered to the ship as radioman/gunner in an Avenger with a draft of replacements shortly before the attack, but by a fluke of war was held back because his pilot had an ear infection. The rest of his detail died. "

RIP, Paul. You left one helluva mark on this world.

 

[Art Vandelay]

RIP. One of the all-time greats, both as an actor and, more importantly, as a person.

 

[h.i. mcdonough]

Damn. One of my all-time favorites, who starred in two of my all-time favorites: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Hud, which is arguably the best "Texas" movie ever.

"Paul Newman, actor who personified cool, dies"

I agree with that.

On screen and off, young and old, he personified cool.

Even though I knew this was coming, I am saddened just the same. Lots of his movies are among my favorites.
RIP - thanks for the memories

One of the last true legends.

 

[Pentaconta]

Damn, this sucks. I knew it was coming, but it still sucks. He was a standup guy, by all accounts.

Now I have to tell my kids that Doc in "Cars" has passed on.

At least he left us with a lot of great movies to enjoy.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

He was an absolute Hollywood Icon. Sad day for the industry.
