The iconic Paul Newman has died at the age of 83. He died of cancer at his home in Westport, Connecticut. He was the star of classic films such as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Sting," "The Hustler," and "Cool Hand Luke." He's also the founder of the Newman's Own food company. Never tried the salad dressing, so I can't tell if that's something he'll remembered for also.
R.I.P., Paul Newman.

Rest well, sir.
A good man on the whole, his passing is unfortunate.

UNACCEPTABLE.
COOL HAND LUKE
FUCKING COOL HAND LUKE.
P.S. this totally sucks. Newman was a great actor, a principled person, and a raging badass.
I was just watching The Sting last night
Last night I told my friend that Newman was dead, before correcting myself (I'd misremembered).
Turns out I actually was correct. :-/
now that's something you really must rectify. the man brought something special to every role he played. Cool Hand Luke(which alone with others has already been mentioned in this thread), is one of my favourite movies, one that i will watch given any opportunity. look him up on IMDB.com and i'm sure you'll find something that you'll enjoy watching.
I recently bought Newman's Own Low-fat Asian Dressing, because hey proceeds to charity. It actually wasn't that great and I was severely disappointed. So, in tribute to Paul Newman, I'm going to have a big ass salad. Other than the Asian Dressing, which one is the best tasting? I was looking for something similar to a sesame flavoured dressing.
Loved the fact he was philanthropic and that he was known for being quiet and unassuming. More Hollywood actors and promoters could learn how his quiet authority drew more attention than all the glitz and glamour at their call.
Thanks for being around paul, all those films you were in would have got a star less if you weren't in them.
I hope you, and Steve McQueen and Lee Marvin are all somewhere getting happy drunk.
Minute maid cherry limeaid is where it is at.
I actually didn't know he did any charitable works. The only place I really know him from is salad dressing and people telling me to watch cool hand luke.
but they're listening to every word I say
It should.
This sucks. Paul Newman was everything Hollywood should be and largely isn't. Which is to say awesome.
I'm going to go watch Slap Shot again to remember the better times.
Spoilered for NSFW-ness clip from Slap Shot (a movie that probably could not be made today).
This is starting to really hammer home the "your favorite actors are old and dying" theme that 2008 is giving me. I'm NOT looking forward to the day where I open up my internet and see Eastwood, Nicholson or Freeman gone...

Johnny Chopsocky, It's not necessarily old and dying... there's just a disturbingly high mortality rate this year. ):
His contributions as a racer were pretty significant, he was way more than just a fan.
I...I just bought some.
Those are some fine, fine salad dressings. I shall think of him every time I eat a salad. But what's with all the celebrity deaths lately?
I remember him being quoted once, saying his salad dressings grossed more then his films
At least something severely disfiguring...please
In the UK on the morning news they were discussing him with such warmth, was nice to hear.
I liked him.
He apparently rated Slapshot as his best performance. My choice would be The Verdict.

Honestly it's the only Newman film I've seen. I know I know, there are about a billion more I should see.
The movie's kind of slow (and I was young when I saw it) but it was well-acted and the characters were developed amazingly.
The crazy thing is that he never stopped. Baja 1000 at 79 years old? Sure, why not.

Yeah that quote from the Simpsons and that the Coast Guard loves his salad dressings are my only run ins with the guy.
You should seek to remedy that. Immediately.
Go rent either Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, or The Sting RIGHT NOW.
NOW.
