rest in peace, mr. newman. 1925-2008
Paul Newman left us today at the age of 83.
I don’t normally do memorials to notable figures who pass away, but I am a longtime Paul Newman fan for a giant number of reasons, so I wanted to put a little something up to say goodbye.
I have always loved his commitment to giving (and to kids and camps, no less!), along with his frequently self-deprecating sense of humour, and his devoted and oft-expressed commitment to his wife in a fickle town.
He was also a tremendously gifted actor and, well… probably one of the most handsome men I’ve ever seen, and enduringly so.
I mentioned him here a few times.
Thanks for everything, Mr. Newman.
