Paul Newman

He aint doing so well, was released from hospital as he wanted to die at home.

Was always a big fan of his works, thought I must admit that I'm angered at his daughters selfish (seeming anyways) attitude.

Years ago I knew his wife's personal assistant and her husband, who said that Paul and Joanne were very warm, caring, thoughtful and down to earth people. Paul is a fine actor, humanitarian and all around good guy.

All he needs is mayonnaise and we are set for a Paul Newmann picnic.

Paul Newman is a class act and a good man. Something that is becoming a rarity in this world, particularly among the Hollywood set.

He always went out of his way to be friendly at the race tracks. He always took pictures and signed as many autographs as needed.

What we got here, is . . . a failure to communicate.

Fantastic film. One of my favorites. Obviously difficult to really gauge someone you've never met, but he always came across as a genuine and caring guy.

I saw this news and the report on Bernie Mac's death first thing this morning. Sad news on both counts.

Very sad indeed. One of the last greats, both as an actor, and more importantly as a human being.

It's sad he is dying, but he isn't dead.

Don't bury the guy yet.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid = funnier than hell!
The Hustler, too! Not so funny, I still wince when they break his hands.

Paul is an awesome human being!! Pray for his health!

My favorite Paul Newman movie. I think I've seen it 20 times or more.
