Paul Newman Dead at 83
CNN.Com is flashing breaking news of the actor's death, presumably of cancer. Check the site for further details throughout the day.
He sure was a wonderful actor and also more importantly a very nice man. He has a charity in Ireland that friends of mine are involved in and they say he was lovely. He will be much missed. Love sybil xx
I was saddened to hear of this today. What a class act, and what a love story between him and Joanne Woodward...one of the few celebrity marriages that lasted for decades.
Thanks for your comment in WOTD (http://journals.aol.com/gryphondear/Gryphondears-Word-of-the-Day/entries/2008/09/27/requiem-for-paul-newman-1925-2008/2431). I wish... NOT.
I would have liked to have seen a movie in which Newman and Rutger Hauer played brothers. They have similar enough features to be close kin. Ah, well, life is fleeting, art endures.
All of my favorite stars are going, Paul Newman with his blue eyes, sad, but we all will be going there...

I felt so ancient when I told my 11 yr. old granddaughter that Paul had passed and she said WHO? How sad. He was one of the greats.
