Nice one Rick.

Still reeling from the news myself, so sad to see an icon of his stature leave this mortal coil.

What a life though.
Rick September 28th, 2008 9:09 am :
Thanks, Ib …

He was one of the greats, all right, and he seemed to live life on his own terms. Which is pretty cool, if you can do it.

Sure, sure…
Rick September 28th, 2008 4:35 pm :
You know, for the kids.

Man- I knew Newman’s passing was a big deal, but I didn’t expect this much, hoopla.

You can quote me on that!

Kidding aside, he was a great actor and it looks like a dear man.
Rick September 29th, 2008 10:14 am :
He was one of the last real Movie Stars (note the capital letters). For those of us of a certain (ahem!) age, we kind of grew up when he was around.

Although he was a fine actor, perhaps the human being aspect of it was most remarkable.

Oh I agree with everyone here, and I leave this comment to voice my own grief at this great man and actor’s passing. Nice clip there. My favorite Newman films are HUD, MR. AND MRS. BRIDGE and THE HUSTLER, but there are many others of course.
Rick September 29th, 2008 7:30 pm :
Sam, I really like Hud, and have a strange fondness for “The Hustler’s” sequel, “The Color of Money.”

it’s hard not to admire Paul Newman for putting his money to work in such productive ways, such as his Newman’s Own line–high quality stuff and the proceeds go to good causes… very smart.
Rick October 15th, 2008 8:45 am :
Yeah, I think that often Newman’s evident goodness as a human being overshadowed his acting talent.
