Quote:

Paul Newman, the Academy-Award winning superstar who personified cool as an activist, race car driver, popcorn impresario and the anti-hero of such films as "Hud," "Cool Hand Luke" and "The Color of Money," has died. He was 83.

Newman died Friday after a long battle with cancer at his farmhouse near Westport, publicist Jeff Sanderson said. He was surrounded by his family and close friends.

There's a reason it took him so long to win an Oscar: He got better as he got older, which we should all aspire to. A good and generous man.

OMG, I guess I didn't know he had cancer but I am shocked. He did a lot of good things in his lifetime and will be sorely missed by many.

Oh wow. How terrible! A good man and a great actor!

Oh, this hits me with such sadness. What a GREAT.

And yes, I like his "older" roles better than his sassy younger ones. Ah, that's wonderful inspiration to me as I head into that territory.

Noooooo, Paul

Heck, I even like his early stuff. A class act, this guy. And he makes some damn good spaghetti sauce. (Goes to kitchen to open a jar of Sockarooni Sauce.) Another good one gone.

Nooooooo.... this makes me deeply saddened. RIP Paul Newman, you certainly enriched my life.

Wow... this is terrible.

I had just shown some younger coworkers "Cool Hand Luke" for the first time last week, and they said it was better than any recent movie they'd seen.

I was just talking the other day that I had heard he wasn't well. I agree, he really was a class act and it's quite a loss. I will continue to buy his company's products because they taste great and the profits go to support charity. I hope it carries on in the spirit it was created.
