He had been battling cancer for some time. Paul was possibly my favorite actor. Hud, Cool Hand Luke, The Sting, Butch & Sundance, Slapshot, The Hustler all classics. He was also a radio operator in the Navy during WW2. <S>
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

and of course... 'Fort Apache, The Bronx'

Good actor.  :salute Wife liked the Salad Dressings.  :rolleyes:

I liked Paul Newman as an actor. Didn't realize he was so old though.

RIP Mr. Newman  :salute

I've always liked Paul Newman, both as an actor and as a man. He was great.

Godspeed, Paul. :salute

I liked him in several of his roles. He was a good actor and seemed to be genuinely a good man. RIP Paul.

Cool character and a humanist.  :salute
