Paul Newman died

[conn8757]

I just saw Paul Newman died. I always liked him in the movies.

Not only a great actor but a wonder humanitarian. He will be missed.

I think I was always in love with him, but sadly he wouldn't leave Joanne for me..... Seriously, he was one of the best.!!!

Paul Newman's death makes me very sad. I really admired his acting abilities. I used to think that 83 was so old. Not any more!

good actor, good humantarian, good man,

You know how it went :confused:. When we were 14 we wished we were 16 so we could sit upstairs in the movies and smoke. When we were 16 we wished we were 18 so the H.S.seniors would give us another look.
At 18 we wished we were 21 so we could drink. Now it goes round robin at 63 we wish we were 21 again with all the knowledge we have now.
So it goes.
Paul Newman was one of my favorite actors.

Paul Newman was a fine man and, I believe, a good role model as a well known actor. I think, next to my husband and Jimmy Stewart, he was my favorite. He will be missed by many.

Such a HANDSOME, loved actor! That chiseled face, those blue eyes!!!
I was always happy to go see one of his films. 'Cool Hand Luke' was a favorite .

He will be sorely missed, but will forever live on in the hearts of his family and fans.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear Paul Newman has gone from us. He was my very favorite,. A fine actor, a real gentleman and classy human being. He lived life well and responsibly, something some of today's bad boy actors should take a lesson from.
Farewell Paul.

RIP Fast Eddie

Some years ago my friend Elaine and I worked together at a large electronics firm in Nashua, NH. Elaine usually went to lunch with her hubby, John, and on this very special day.....as they were returning to work after lunch, they were on a main highway and Elaine's hub said to her...."stop and pick up this guy (walking along the side of the highway with a young teen girl). John told Elaine that he thought that this guy owned the RV that was disabled alongside the highway. Elaine pulled over and stopped the car and John rolled down his window and said to the guy...."Is that your rig back there?" He answered yeah. John said hop in and we'll give you a ride to the garage just up the street. The guy and teen got in the back seat.....John turned to talk with them and Elaine started to drive off. John said to the guy...."You ARE Paul Newman, right?" Paul said "yeah that's right; we're headed to the Louden car races. John said to Paul, "If they can't help you at this garage (unlikely that they could service an RV), John said to Paul, "Here's my business card; I work for an RV dealer who will take care of you." Elaine and John returned to work.

Elaine came back from lunch BEAMING. She said, "You'll NEVER believe this, but we just picked up Paul Newman and gave him a ride to a garage. And told of their experience. Elaine told us that when she looked into the rear-view mirror and saw it really was Paul Newman, she got so nervous, she couldn't shift the gears!!! LOL

That early evening after John & Elaine came home from work the phone rang and Elaine answered. Much to her surprise she hears on the other end of the line, "Hi Elaine, this is Paul Newman." Needless to say, Elaine was speechless!! She sputtered, "Oh hi Paul; hope you got your RV up and going. Paul replied that no he couldn't find anyplace to fix it so he called John's workplace and sure enough they picked he and his two girls and Joanne Woodward and gave them a new RV to use while at the races. Paul thanked and thanked her for her help and they hung up.

Minutes later the phone rang again and sure enough it was Paul again. (Elaine thought how many people get TWO calls from Paul Newman in one night?) Paul again thanked them for the kindness and invited them to attend the races as his and Joanne's guest for the day. WOWOWOWOW Elaine was ecstatic to say the least.

Paul and Elaine spent the day with Paul & Joanne and asked permission if she could take pictures; which they so graciously agreed as long as they're kept private. Elaine took two rolls of pictures and they had a wonderful time. She said that Paul and Joanne were just like next-door neighbors. Joanne made tuna salad sandwiches and they drank beer.

Upon John and Elaine's leaving, Paul gave them his address in Connecticut and invited them to visit any time.

Such a great man, husband, father, actor, entrepenuer, and humanitarian. He will be missed by many.

What a nice story.
Always loved Paul Newman.

Paul Newman and I shared the same birthday, January 26th. My Mom loved him so much that ever since I was born, she would have a cake for me and a cupcake for Paul Newman! She was thrilled that I was born on his birthday and continued to celebrate it that way until her passing when I was 26. Thinking of him and seeing his movies, always brought back special memories of my mom. She even gave my Dad his nickname, Fast Eddie! I think I'll buy myself a cupcake this coming birthday and think about the wonderful people that have walked this earth. ;)

A class act all the way! They don't make them like that anymore.

I have always LOVED Paul Newman. Such a great actor and what wonderful things he did for charity. I actually got to look into his beautiful blue eyes---as you know he was a race car driver---I had the pleasure of spending a weekend --many years ago---at Summit Point, West Va---he was racing that weekend. I was riding my bicycle around--heard a vehicle behind me--turned around and I found myself looking into those blue eyes!!!! I almost fell off my bike---he was so courteous--actually smiled at me!!! I will never forget that experience.

So sad to see Paul Newman's passing. One of my favorites in the movies not matter his age. Those wonderful blue piercing eyes. It never let his stardom go to his head. He did so many wonderful charitable things so his legacy will live on. Good Bye Paul Newman you will be greatly missed.

Thanks Barb, for a great Paul Newman story. What a classy guy.

Besides a superb actor, Paul Newman was an incredibly decent human being. What a tragic loss to humankind....

Back when I was in college, a friend and I were walking the paths at the southern end of Central Park in New York City. We walked slowly and concentrated on our conversation, not noticing that we were stepping over wires and cables strung across the paths. Without realizing it, we had wandered into the filming of From the Terrace with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. Security--or maybe the need for it--was so different in those days....
