For the first time you impress me Jared!

# 6

My favorite memory of Paul Newman is the movie Cool Hand Luke. In it was where he was eating all those hard boil eggs. I am sorry to hear about his passing. He was a true movie star.

# 7

Very nice tribute, Jared. I loved Cool Hand Luke as well. Newman was also amazing in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with Robert Redford. Sad to see him pass. Truly a great man to have given back so much through his charity work.

# 8

bring tears to my eyes he was such a wonderful person

# 9

He has given me cauntless hours of entertainment through his films and I can have nothing but respect for the man and eveyrthing he’s done for those less fortunate.
World would be a better place with more ppl like him and he really will be missed greatly.

Thanks, Jared! Very nice tribute and classy of you to share these. :)

I think my favorirte memory of Paul Newman in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. But there are so many great movies and great roles. The Long Hot Summer, Road to Perdition and on and on.

Thanks Jared…definitely a nice tribute.

Like I said-its about time we read about a real HOLLWOOD ACTOR. Though gone but never forgotten. Prayers to Pauls family.

Loved him in all of his movies, espically Message in a Bottle where Kevin Costnar and Paul are sitting in the truck at the airport and Kevin in turn forgets his ticket. But, my all time fav is the scene in Cool Hand Luke where he says he can eat 50 hard boiled eggs and DOES…..Im lucky to get down 3!

Jared,

You are thisclose to getting it right on the tribute. Why not show all the young viewers how handsome this actor was in his prime. Still you bring out the pics where he is a shell of himself.

Still all in all it is better than nothing I suppose. I encourage all viewers of Justjared to google Paul Newman and see why so many think he was one of the most handsome Hollywood stars ever.

Paul was one of my grandfathers good friends, rest in peace

Paul Newman,you will be dearly missed
One of the most amazing actors that ever lived.

#14-no matter how he was then (and oh yeah he was HOT….) as he is now….he is, was and always will be: one of a kind. A true Hollywood actor, but at the same time a very unique and sincere gentleman.

He was great every year and in every role. It is not possible to choose a “favorite” Paul. He taught this country and the world about philanthropy and I’m so grateful for his talent and heart.

Paul Newman has provided us with so many hours of quality entertainment in his long and varied career. He will be missed indeed. My fondest film memory is Cat On A Hot Tin Roof - I love that film so much.

Let’s also not forget his great big heart for those who are less fortunate.

He will forever be my blue-eyed movie star.

TRUE GREATNESS…………….. my heart is sad but he lived a long and happy life films buff the world over feels the sad loss……………peace

OMG, Paul Newman! Another legend gone, but not forgotten.
He and Joanne were the Angie and Brad of their day. The joke was always, who got lost in who’s blue eyes. They aged well, both of them and I think it is because of their successful marriage. I hope Joanne is coping despite her terrible but inevitable loss.

This man was beautiful from inside out. Tell my mom Hi. She loved you and therefore I have seen every movie you have done.

Keep those blue eyes sparkling

He is in a better place but the world needs more Paul Newman.

Favourite memories:

- Joanne Woodard and Paul Newman celebrating their 50th anniversary
- First watching Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
- First tasting his mayo!

My mom always said, “Marry a man like Paul Newman.” I now think it’s funny that when I first met the man who is now my fiance, I told a friend he reminded me of Paul in “The Long, Hot Summer.” Southern boys… :)

He was a noble man, full of integrity who used his fame to better the world. And his is a dying breed. My heart and prayers go out to Joanne, as I’m months from embarking on a new life with my own Paul Newman with gratefulness for the strong and beautiful example her marriage was to me. Through thick and thin, for better or worse. I think that’s what makes us romantics want to see him live forever: to watch him love her forever.

Watch this video to see what I’m talking about.

Thank you for the tribute Jared. Paul Newman was a great actor and a great human being. He entertained us for many years and he used his fame to help others and raise hundreds of millions for charity. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. May his life be an inspiration to others for his committed marriage of more than 50 years and all the good he did for others.

So sad, he is what all actors and actresses should aspire to be, a class act :( He will be dearly missed.

A great man, truly great. His devotion to his wife and family are inspiring enough but the fact that he set up his Newman’s Own products company for all, ALL, the proceeds to go to charity is beyond inspiring. Rest in Peace Mr. Newman, you left a legacy that won’t ever be forgotten.

I am 50 + years younger than Paul Newman but have long admired him. Obviously, I am aware of his vast film career, but what drew my admiration was all the charity he did. I had no idea how much until maybe 10 years ago. Not only the food products, but the camps for sick kids, the drug prevention center. This man did it all with little fanfare, the way real, genuine charity should be done! He also did a lot of it right here in the US. He will truly be missed as he is a rare breed in “Hollywood.”

As far as the pictures, Jared did a decent job. They also show that Paul Newman lived a long prosperous life as opposed to say, James Dean, who was cut down so young and whose image stands frozen in time. However, I saw an INCREDIBLE picture of PN last year and saved it. Maybe I will email it to Jared.

I’m so sad to hear about his passing. R.I.P. Paul Newman. One of my favorites is “Cat On a Hot Tin Roof”

“Butch Cassidy and The Sundance KId” is one of my favorite movies, ever. And “The Sting”. I love those caper movies from the 70’s. Paul Newman was funny and could also be heartbreaking. Oh, and “Cool Hand Luke” was another great one. I’m glad so many people loved him and he had a good life.

shoegal421 @ 09/27/2008 at 6:46 pm

what a wonderful man.

a beautiful man inside and out
such dignity and class
r.i.p.

Paul Newman was a true star and a great humanitarian.
He never had a “star attitude”.

He always seemed not to take himself too seriously. He always seemed like a genuinely funny, nice man.

cAPTAIN JACK @ 09/27/2008 at 7:19 pm

Jared, thank you for this wonderful tribute. Instead of whoring out another Efron / JoBros / Panewhatsherface / Palin story, you took the time to craft this wonderful and loving tribute to this amazing individual who represented what a true star is. Paul New,man was a star. He shown brightly as symbol of class and integrity. He truly contrivuted to charity because he knew it was the right thing to do and not as means of gaining publicty. By doing so, he raised more money than those who simply whored themselves out to organizations to look good. I thank you deeply for this. God Bless.

His legacy in movies will live on forever. Most importantly his legacy as a charitable man will live on forever, in his children and grandchildren and so on.God bless his wife and family and friends.Live on in heaven,Paul.

It’s truly shocking when two people named ‘Zanessa’ get more comments than the legendary Paul Newman.

I remember when I heard that Paul Newman was Jake Gyllenhaal’s godfather and the person who taught him how to drive. How surreal to be personally influenced by such a great human being

Yeah Michelle, that’s true! Jake kind of reminds me of Paul, you know.

He was a great man, who made a difference in the world, he will be missed.
RIP

When I first heard Mr. Newman passed, it made me cry almost like I knew him. I guess he has been such a giant during his life that many people felt like they knew him. He is in a better place, but the world will miss this great man. As someone above said, the world definitely needs more people like Paul Newman. I hope he rests in peace and his family stays strong and is allowed to grieve in private.

Favorite movie of his is a tie between Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Although, I loved him in Road to Perdition and The Color of Money. I guess I can’t pick one.

RIP Paul. A brilliant actor!!!!! My heart goes out to his beautiful wife Joanne and their children.

I’m so saddened by this. Seriously, what a gentleman!

I’m sitting here all day , i feel like i lost my best friend in whole wide world. Paul Newman a special gifted greatest actor of all time, Watch all of your movies. The nicest the most generous, loving ,caring husband and father. You Paul Newman will be missed you will never be forgotten your legacy will always live on. My prayers to you and your family. God Bless!!! May You rest in Peace!!

I am so sad today. This news was the last thing I expected. Mr Neman RIP. I saw every movie that he played in. My prayers go out to his family. I hope all the family is holding up well. Paul Newman was one of a kind and he will truly be missed.

piper, with a low @ 09/27/2008 at 10:19 pm

FYI… Larry King aired a tribute show for PN. Larry King usually reairs its shows at midnight EST, so check it out. I have to warn you… Heather Mills is featured prominently in the show, since she was the host during Newman’s 2004 LK appearence. To me, her voice is very grating.

Sadly, Hollywood 411 is airing a tribute to Newman and I’m sorry, but the majority of the contributors to this tributes are clearly out of their element and come off as kinda shotty. But if you want to see it, it’s on the TV Guide Channel.

So sad. True, greats have to pass on. But if there is no new generation to take their place…

Be interesting to see if Jake Gyllenhaal, his godson, says anything or goes to the funeral. Jake, to my knowledge, never said a word when Heath Ledger died. Just clammed up for some mysterious reason. Acted as if it hadn’t happened.

Oh, Paul, why? We love you and they don’t make stars like you that often. Beutiful, kind, giving adn talented. Heaven is lucky to have you though! We LOVE YOU stud! Class act, you are. Rest in peace.

Butch Cassidy and Sundance kid and The Sting.

cAPTAIN JACK @ 09/27/2008 at 11:40 pm

How do those idiots Zanessa get more attention than a true talented legend. Pitiful.

cAPTAIN JACK @ 09/27/2008 at 11:40 pm

How do those idiots Zanessa get more attention than a true talented legend. Pitiful.

One of the great actors. A legend. He will be missed. God bless.

I love this picture of him with JFK Jr., Carolyn and Joanne:

I can’t believe three out of the four are gone now. :(

I have always love Paul Newman and have always thought that he was one of the most sexy and beautiful man in movies… I love him in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Cool Hand Luke.. I loved him in everthing… there will never be another like him.. there is a old move that he and his wife Joann did call On the Terrace.. there was so much chemistery between them I’m so sad at his passing my heart goes out to his family.

paulandjoanne @ 09/28/2008 at 12:39 am

Joltkicker @ 09/28/2008 at 2:25 am

willmiss him another great actor and person gone
R I P

My favorite movies’ of his are the following in no particular order…

1) The Color of Money (a LONG OVERDUE Oscar win)
2) Absence of Malice
3) The Towering Inferno (starring with another “great” Steve McQueen - the 2 of them acting off each other was a treat. Yet, I always got them mixed up because they could have been brothers!)
4) The Sting
5) Butch Cassidy and the Sunshine Kid
6) The Hustler
7) Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Hell, I was going to say Bullitt - But that was Steve McQueen! See, for some reason I tended to mix them up.

As I said in the previous thread: “My sincere condolences to his family & friends; He will be missed. But what a legacy he’s left us: his movies, his racing endeavors, and his MANY charitable works… He will live on in the many lives he touched - especially camps for sick & dying children (like the one in Seattle)

God bless you, Mr. Newman. God bless.

Fantastic gallery, JJ!
Thanks you!

Fantastic gallery, JJ!
Thanks you!

RIP Mr. Newman. You are the greatest actor of our time and you will forever be missed. I know you are smiling down at us as we are grieving your passover.

Paul Newman was a class act, a gentleman, a legend, and icon…and yet he was humble, down to earth, and oozed class. Hollywood stars today could learn a lot from how to behave from this man, his wonderful wife Joanne, and his family Just class all the way.

My favorite film memory of him was Coach Reggie Dunlop in “Slap Shot.” I know, “Hud” and “Butch Cassidy” are going to be the more obvious choices– but he made me laugh in “Slap Shot” and that’s worth a thousand ’serious’ films. I work in hockey and I’ve probably watched the film a hundred times, and it always holds up and makes me smile.

Thank you, Mr. Newman, for making this world a better place. It’ll feel a little more empty now.

“newman and woodward = pitt and jolie”

Um….can I throw up a little bit?

Newman and Woodward had class, humility and grace. the other two court the media and have litters. there’s a HUGE difference, my friend.
Please don’t disparage Paul and Joanne ever again.

this my brothers and i fav. actor we were so sad when we found out :(

Stephanie @ 09/28/2008 at 2:43 pm

RIP Paul <33

he was an AMAZING, AMAZING human being. I havn’t even ever seen any of his movies (I should get on that, actually…I’m sure he was an absolutely fantastic actor), but I always have been and always will be a huge supportor of his philanthropic efforts.

He was just as beautiful on the inside as he was on the out, which is saying a friggin LOT :)

andamentothat @ 09/28/2008 at 5:38 pm

Rest in Peace.. Paul Newman is not only a celebrated actor but a dedicated environmentalist and a wonderful human being.. Cat on the hot tin roof and Butch Cassidy are my alltime faves..

God has taken a UNFORGETTABLE MAN, A GREAT MAN AND A

LOVING MAN OF MANKIND. PAUL NEWMAN IS ONE OF THE BEST,

AND WILL ALWAYS BE.

michaellove @ 09/29/2008 at 1:58 pm

paul newman, a great actor and a good person.
i love and respect you.
rest in peace forever…

His sock it to me cake, made with a secret ingredient tomato sauce!

First I would like to pay my respect to his phillantrophic side, many , many, many charitable actions done with love and devotion to the cause, as someone previousliy stated with little fanfare like genuine charity should be done…
He was one of the greatest actors of all time, in my opinion not only the most talented but the most handsome of them all…
#25 thank you for the utube video, it shows us all, what real love looks like. They were true soulmates, an example for us all, that love like that does exist, in a world, where it seems like people have become replacable/expandable/meaningless to each other…RIP Paul L. Newman..you will be missed!!!!
