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.
A cool, classy guy. A fine actor, great philanthropist, and a race car driver to boot. RIP.
They simply do not make them like this anymore. Who among our current crop of contemporary “celebrities” can you imagine leaving a legacy like that of Paul Newman?
He was a man’s man. We’ll miss you Paul.
A hell of a man. Gawd, those eyes. My Mom introduced me to him as “Newmie” and talked about him with a delicious grin, and a far away gaze. I got to share that gaze too. A hell of a hunk. Thanks for the memories Newmie.
Thanks for posting those photos. He was stunningly beautiful in his younger days…
Class act in so many ways.
Wow, thanks for keeping me up to date on what is happening in the world. No there is no sarcasm in that statement. I really liked Paul Newman and liked that he and his wife had been together for so long.
Hes the reason i love men with blue eyes. My favorite actor of all time, great husband and man. You will be missed. I always said If i could have the choice to meet someone it would be you.
