Biggest Fan Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I admire the fact that such a 'large figure' kept such a low profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chameleon Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Sad truly one of the greats! They don't make actors like that anymore.. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 A classy man, a family man and devoted husband and one of the finest actors of the last 60 years. Newman is one of my all-time favourite actors and reading this sad news a minute ago has hurt me deeply. 83 is a good age to go out, but cancer isn't the way to do it. R.I.P. Fast Eddie, Reg and Luke, and many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 fack. I know he wasn`t going to act anymore, and his product line is doing well on it`s own. However, that was shocking news to read. I had no idea he was in ill health. I had some amazing movie appreciation moments thanks to him growing up. Cool Hand Luck, Butch Cassidy and the sundance Kid, the Sting, The Colour of Money, and of course Slapshot.I think I learned to appreciate older movies thanks to his films.bon voyage paul newman.

kookycanooky Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Sad news. I just finished watching the Simpsons where homer weighs 300lbs...He vents radio active gas into the farmers field, who replies "Oh no, the corn! Paul Newman's going to have my legs broke!"Bummer...Cool Hand Luke was a favorite. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I watched one of his movies recently - "Absence of Malice" from 1981. Also in this movie were Sally Field and a young Bob Balaban. I don't think it was a great movie but one thing that amazed me - something you don't see much in movies anymore - was that most of the characters were smoking constantly. Except Paul Newman - he didn't need a cigarette to look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
