ZeppFanForever Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Link Movie legend Paul Newman dies, 83 Hollywood legend Paul Newman has died at the age of 83, his spokeswoman has confirmed. Marni Tomljanovic said the blue-eyed star of films like Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid died on Friday of cancer. She gave no further details. Newman was nominated for an Oscar 10 times, winning a best actor trophy in 1987 for The Color Of Money. In May 2007, he said he was giving up acting because he could no longer perform to the best of his ability. "I'm not able to work anymore... at the level that I would want to," he told US broadcaster ABC. Earlier this year, he pulled out of directing a stage production of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men in Connecticut because of unspecified health problems. So sad. My thoughts are with his family. How's it going all? Paul Newman was one of my father's as well as one of my most favorite actors of all time. I just played "The Rain Song" as a tribute to Paul Newman's memory and will now play the movie entitled "The Color Of Money" starring the late great Paul Newman, Tom Cruise and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelectro59 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Sad day Not only was he a brilliant actor, but a great race car driver and team owner as well. He will be missed not only on the silver screen, but in the paddocks of racing circuits as well. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebk Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 ^^Those last 2 movies are quite good and very underrated. One of my favorite memories of Paul was his bit on Letterman... "Where the hell are the singing cats?" Never failed to make me smile. A great man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slave to zep Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 i am very upset and saddened that this world has lost such a great man. he was not only one of the best actors of all time, but his work setting up and running his charities was just so selfless. it must have pained him deeply to lose a son the way he did, but instead of letting it ruin his life , he did something positive instead. i also admire his commitment to joanne woodward, ( and hers to him ) he was imo THE most handsome and charismatic of men in his heyday, and could have had any woman or young starlet that he wanted. but he stayed loyal to joanne for 50 years. he was just a GREAT MAN and i will miss him dearly. i didnt know he was dying, and i coincidently just rewatched butch cassidy and the sundance kid a few days ago. man, he was so perfect in that role. if you can, get a hold of it on DVD, there is a nice interview with him on it. R.I.P. Paul Newman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunChild Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Oh, shit. I hope he wouldn't mind a silly knee jerk response. Truly, I am saddened and sorry. He was one of the greats, always a pleasure and a revelation, and a highly ethical man, who enjoyed life to the last. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrum Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 He liked to race too. I saw Joanne Woodward on an old Alfred Hitchcock episode the other night. (1956) Now there's a racing face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Zeppnile Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Del, how appropriate. Wonderful clip from one of my favourite movies. RIP Paul Newman. One of the best. Yeah, that clip pretty much says it all doesn't it. No need for accalades or editorial. Just a glimpse of a man (the actor of course) sitting alone and contemplating his life. For us fans those images are all we have left. Here it is once again.
