Thinking about Paul Newman today. Very, very sad.

[speedoo]

He won't be with us much longer. I hope he and his family are finding comfort these days.

He certainly has turned his celebrity and wealth into many, many good things. No other celebrity can match him in that respect, IMO.

1. The guy knows how to whip up some yummy salad dressing

In seriousness, the world would be a better place if we only had a fraction of Paul's insight and heart.

2. My dad's favorite movie was Cool Hand Luke

And I can understand why. Newman put in a heck of a performance.

When I first saw your post, I was worried he had just passed.

He is a nice man. Mrs. Moose

They don't make them like that anymore.

6. One of the few celebrities who managed a long career

without being an asshole. Much respect for Paul N.

7. "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "The Hustler," "Hud," "Cool Hand Luke," "Butch Cassidy...,"

"The Sting," "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean," "Slap Shot," "Absence of Malice," "The Verdict," "The Color of Money," "Nobody's Fool," "The Road to Perdition." What a catalog.

9. You omitted the best! "The Long, Hot Summer"!

8. I hadn't heard this news, but as a hospice volunteer I hope he

gets the support and care he needs at home. It sounds like that's what he wants, is the dignity and peace of dying in his own home.

Blessings on his journey and my best good wishes to his family and loved ones. :loveya:

13. he is at home and if anyone is getting good hospice care surely he is.

I hope he lives to see Barack Obama elected to the presidency. It would surely cheer his soul
