RIP…So sad/

a legend.

very sad. another great one … he’ll be missed.

very sad. another great one … he’ll be missed.

oops. i apologize for the triple post. my browser’s acting up

I have seen him and met him a few times in the town we both lived in. What an inspiration he was and a true class act.

Great Man, Great Actor who leaves an enormous legacy behind, will be surely missed

Peace be with you and yours, Paul. You will always be one of the greatest in my list of actors (up there with Cahrlton Heston). The good die young…..

I am so saddend by this news. GREAT actor! Great loss.

Amazing actor - very sad news.

RIP.

(p.s. Jared, suggest you change the title/the post - it’s all sounding a bit unemotional ‘…Dead at 83.’)

=( will miss him terribly

It is such a shame that worthless idiots like those chicks from The Hills, Zanessa, The Jonas Brothers, Hayden Planetarium and others will have stories that will probably get far more attention on here than this story. Hollywood does not know what they lost (well the old school class does). We lost someone who truly enjoyed and celebrated their life and was a great avtor, husband and humnitarian. In his 83 years, Paul Newman accomplished an unprecedented amount of tasks, from winning an Oscar to racecar driving championships to raising millions upon millions upon millions of dollars for charity. He was a true belssing to this world. May God Offer Him A Special Place In Heaven and may well all celebrate his amazing life.

[*] in our hearts for ever

rest in peace.

God Speed, Mr. Newman.

Absolute legend! R.I.P.

The world has lost a true gentleman. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, especially his wife of 50 years, Joanne Woodward. RIP, Butch Cassidy. You will be sorely missed. :( :(

true legend, wonderful actor
we will miss him.
RIP

What sad news. This is a “STAR” who has passed away. It is important to note that those who are now following should look at this man’s example of what a STAR is. I have seen I believe every film. He had a great relationship with his wife Joanne and their children. I agree with one of the previous post, that we get so caught up on these fly by night want to Be’s and forget what a true actor is and should be.

My favorite roles are The Verdict, Absence of Malice, Butch Cassidy, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Cool Hand Luke… Just to name a few. These are roles that will be remembered. How many actor’s roles can you say the same of.

He will be greatly missed.

RIP Mr. Newman

(SOBBING)……………Paul Newman a great actor a legend one of the last great personalities……………..a great human being part of a good hollywood marriage……………peace be upon him

Rest in Peace, dear Paul Newman! An intelligent, talented, creative, business philanthropic (giving back), and beautiful (inside/outsie) man. He and incredible wife, Joanne Woodward, gave us some great film and, yet, we didn’t receive enough of them (together or separate)!

He was originally from Ohio and passionately opposed the Vietnam War, favored civil rights, and ended up on evil Richard Nixon’s hit list.

In honor of all the good Paul Newman gave in this world, celebrate his life by casting your vote on November 4 for OBAMA-BIDEN!!!

Truly a legend.

“I wish I could recall with clarity the impulse that compelled me to help bring this camp into being. I’d be pleased if I could announce a motive of lofty purpose. I’ve been accused of compassion, of altruism, of devotion to Christian, Hebrew, and Moslem ethic, but however desperate I am to claim ownership of a high ideal, I cannot. I wanted, I think, to acknowledge Luck; the chance of it, the benevolence of it in my life, and the brutality of it in the lives of others, made especially savage for children because they may not be allowed the good fortune of a lifetime to correct it.”
- Paul Newman.

Nooooooo! Worst year ever!

I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Paul Newman, who was one of the finest actors to ever grace the silver screen. He was a rare mixture of enormous talent and modesty, who also found the time to establish important charities in the name of his late son Scott and for children suffering from cancer. He was quite unique.

May he R.I.P.

ebmo #47 - Thank you for that amazing quote!

Paul Newman had a soft spot in his magnificent heart for the perceived underdog who might not have otherwise experienced opportunity in life….he was at the forefront of the new philanthropy!

One of my favorite quotes is about his enduring marriage with his magnificent wife, Joanne Woodward: “I have steak at home, why do out for hamburger”?

ok, first off, i think paul newman was a great human being, and it’s sad that he passed, but still, he was 83, lived a full life, so i can’t help but be happy for him

secondly: if being a chain smoker results in you dying at the tender age of 83, then i’m all for it! (and i’m not a smoker, maybe i should start?)

So sad. they don’t make people like this anymore. Great actor, great philanthropist (giving without any fanfare about it). What a great concept to start a food factory and donate all the roceedings. I always by Newman’s own salad dressing knowing the money goes to the poor.
A sad day in America…

God bless Paul Newman may he rest in peace. We have lost one of the great legands of all time. it’s a very sad day.
Never to be forgotten.

One of my favorite people. Paul you were the best.

So sad about this. Paul Newman was a class act. My heart goes out to his family.

The best.

Paul was good actor, good person. Brilliant, beautiful.
His performances are great, deep.
Bad day for the cinema.

RIP

this is sad. a legend has died. RIP Paul Newman.
You will always be missed!

i was bummed when i heard this. great actor and he will be missed dearly. rest in peace paul newman.

He’s one of those actors that you admired. His marriage to another actress has lasted for 50 years!! And I admire them for making their marriage work!!
I don’t think any Hollywood couple can outlast these two!!

I think his salad dressing will now be even more sold!!

My prayers are with him and his family!

what a loss!

he was REALLY hot as a younger man! not to be insensitive - because he was a true talent!

R.I.P

Rest in peace, Paul. He was one of our last great stars from the golden era of films. It’s always sad to see the great one go.

Oh I feel so sad. loved him as an actor and all around person. My heart goes out to his family, especially his wife, how sad to lose your 50 year partner, if we all feel sad, imagine how she must feel.

RIP Paul Newman, a great Actor and Humanitarian.

I forgot to add in my post, I cant pick a favorite he was great in them, espically in Cool hand Luke, can anyone top his record of eating 50 hardboiled eggs? I sure cant. And he was HOT in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof……but, does anyone remember the movie “Shane”….he was a half-breed Indian and it was a great movie also.

BTW, I agree with several posts JJ, this gentleman was not only a great actor, but a humanitaerian(sp) and a compassionate soul who also had a loving wife………the TRUE HOLLYWOOD MAN!!!!!!!! and the bad thing about it is……we are loosing them if not already have lost them….Paul, Charlton (Heston), Burt (Lancaster), Robert (Mitchum), and the “Duke” himself, (John Wayne). To name a few.

If any actor now had any clout these gentlemen did…..maybe it would still be Hollywood and not “Hollyweird”….. Thank the good Lord himself he has a special place for these guys……because that is exactly what they are and always will be.

Prayers to your family Paul…..and know you can rest peacefully because there are still those who will always love and remember ya..then..now and forever….

RIP. Another faded legendary.

“Former chain smoker” That is real nice Jared. I guess when Marlon Brando died you thought…”Hmmm he ate way too much” We all have done not so healthy things in our lives Jared. Show respect…

I will never forget a scene from “From the Terrace” in which he starred with Joanne Woodward where the camera focuses closely on his gorgeous blue eyes. OMG!

Paul Newman will be missed.

Errr… your plea to put up a sexy beast pic of Paul Newman versus using a recent pic of him seems very superficial and it’s a disservice to the memory of the man. Paul Newman was not one of those actors who made a break to Europe for a life of seclusion just because he was afraid his public couldn’t handle his aging. The evidence of that was the fact that he continued to work into his 80s.

Paul Newman isn’t an example because he was a stunningly good-looking man in his youth, middle age and old age; he was a brilliant actor and a multifaceted human being. Paul Newman deserved better than what he got in these few months. He deserved the chance to deal with his illness privately, without the National Enquirer disclosing his condition and synchronizing their watches to the exact time he could or would succumb to it.

I was hoping the rumors about his health were just that…rumors. I’m so saddened to hear it was true and that he has lost his battle against cancer.

He was a wonderful actor and a wonderful human being. The best one can hope for is to have lived life as fully as possible. And from what I can see Paul Newman did exactly that.

My condolences to his family.

So very sad to hear this. RIP Paul Newman. He was a screen legend no doubt after it and will be greatly miss. My thoughts and prayers goies out to his family and friends.

I’am so sad about this.He was a beautiful and humble man and a
great actor. My favorite movie of his was “The Long Hot Summer” with
his beautiful Joanne. He did so much good,to help so many people.
He was such a class act in Hollywood. There is not too many around
like this man. My thoughts and prayers go out to his beloved Joanne
and their family.

r.i.p.

he was such a great actor
he’ll definetly be missed!

This is the kind of man to look up to…no whoring out his family, no pimping the kids for photo-ops, no declarations about his charity work. Really, in comparison, most of what Hollywood attracts these days is cheap, plastic, not-worthy-of-fame famewhores and poseurs. He was the real deal.

I only buy his pasta sauce.

i nearly cried when i heard this earlier.

he is such a stark contrast to the young “actors” of today, it’s sort of depressing. They just don’t make em like they used to.

Rest in Peace.

a sad sad day for the world…he shall be missed. R.I.P

Sad to hear about the loss of a great actor and a great human being.

Paul, we’ll miss you. They don’t make them like you any more.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not Doc Hudson. When my mommom told me, all I said was “Is that the guy on the dressing?” But then I found out who he was and I’m SSSSSSAAAAAAAAAADDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP Paul, you will be forever missed!

Jared,

How about posting a photo tribute to Paul Newman instead of this later in life photo. I am tired of seeing Lesbian Lilo… how bout some pics that ascend the decadence of Hollywood?

Oh I know Jared, he was not gay, having an affair, scientologist, etc etc

For the JustJared posters I just saw where TMZ had the decency to post a photo tribute. So, if you are young and have no clue about Paul Newman he was a Hollywood great that even though I am in my 30s I really respected.

~~NEW PAUL NEWMAN THREAD~~

A wonderful actor and a great humanitarian. He will always be a legend.

RIP

Love you, Paul! Love you so much.

This is a sad day for everyone. A true gentleman and one of the best at being a man and as an actor. Rest in peace.

They don’t make them like you anymore. As Clooney said you set the bar too high for all us. You will be greatly missed.

A great philanthropist and great actor. He will be sorely missed by all of us. He touched so many lives and his generosity will continue to live on!

Sad news, condolences to his family . A great actor and humanitarian. He will be missed.

great guy, great actor. sadly missed. if only more hollywood actors had his courage and moral code.

It’s a shame that I’ve never gotten the chance to sit down and watch his movies, probably because I wasn’t born during the time he was making them. All the comments I’ve been reading about how wonderful and iconic films he’s been in is the least I can do to see his talents as an actor. I only knew him through his race car hobby and his humanitarian efforts. RIP.

One of a kind….A real class act in both : actor and philanthropist….
Will be missed greatly…. God bless him and his family….

#83 lonewolf @ 9/27 @ 1:09 pm Sorry, but the movie in which Paul Newman played a half-breed indian was “Hombre” - not “Shane”

paul newman was one of our greatest actors. he gave an acting lesson everytime he appeared on the screen. anyone who wants to see how it’s done should rent one of his films. rest in peace paul

It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why there is a problem in the first place.
