Paul Newman

Paul Newman dead at 83 from cancer.
Perhaps the best actor to not win an Oscar. So many memorable roles and a man of integrity in real life.

Yeah, sad loss. But I thought he had a few Oscars (I haven't checked)? But really, how much is that valued over a life time?

He was of that era when actors seemed to have a real presence. With the odd exception (De Niro? Pacino?) that doesn't apply now. Maybe a good thing?

man thats a sad loss - a great actor and philanthropist.....sad

I always loved that quote of his when asked about Hollywood infidelity:

"Why go out for hamburger when you have steak at home?"

Ooops!
johnnyk dumbo, he post before he look!
Paul Newman won an Oscar in 1986 for "The Color of Money".

...................... a great actor and philanthropist.....:

And don't forget the Caesar salad dressing.

He must have been one of the last film stars. They're all actors now.

Strange coincidence is that I watched Exodus a couple of days ago for the first time in my life.

Fairly non PC nowadays as it depicts a bunch of terrorists as heroes but Newman must have been playing one of his first leading roles. He looked to be under 40. That's the only film I have ever seen with him so young.

He stayed married to the same T-Bone throughout his career I believe.

Cool Hand Luke was always my fave.

Boiled egg, anyone?

Always remember watching him in 'The Sting' with Redford, classic film.

Actually he won two oscars. He got one 2003 for lifetime achievement also.

My local vid store gave him his own section.
