CNN just announced Paul Newman has died at 83.
He's been battling cancer and looked really frail in news reports this summer. :bluesad:

What a shame . . . they don't make them like that anymore.
A fine actor and a humanitarian. RIP
Wow...That's a shame. Iconic Hollywood actor! He will be missed...
I too,just heard this....COOL HAND LUKE is my favorite of many great films he made...
Not just another pretty face- "You are an original-that's what you are,boy!"

...sometimes I feel like ol' Luke....the ending speaks to me... :bluesad:
Sad news. Goodnight, Paul.
I read that early this morning, he hasn't looked well for a while, I'm sure he is much happier now. Rest well, Paul.
One hell of an actor, one hell of a person. He will not only be remembered for the roles he has given us, but for what he has done for a lot of people. A truly wonderful person.
My condolences to his family. In addition to his fine acting and race car driving and charitable work (even though I don't agree with his politics) he and his wife Joanne Woodward lived a scandal free life. Truly remarkable in Hollywood.
I didn't know he even passed away until later in the morning as I was watching Formula 1 qualifying and heard that he passed away. A fine actor and a fine racing co-owner. He will truly be missed.
This has been a bad year for celebrity deaths. Newman was a surprise, but unlike some others, not a shock. He hasn't been looking well.
Think I'll make a salad and watch Slap Shot.
