Well, gee, one has a sore throat and insomnia and they get up late on Saturday, only to see this:
Next to possibly Charlton Heston, Newman is the biggest of the crop of stars who have passed away this year. He is a legend, one of the greatest actors of his generation, and I feel I can do such a legend scant justice, particularly since the number of films I've actually seen him is fairly limited. Still, I've seen enough of his work to recognize his value as one of Hollywood's greatest stars. He will be missed. RIP Paul.
I'll let some of the man's work speak for itself. For your consumption:
Cool Hand Luke - Nobody can eat 50 eggs.
Cool Hand Luke - final scenes.
Torn Curtain - murder scene.
Hud - The men we admire.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - chase.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - the cliff scene.
Paul Newman, the Academy-Award winning superstar who personified cool as an activist, race car driver, popcorn impresario and the anti-hero of such films as "Hud," ''Cool Hand Luke" and "The Color of Money," has died. He was 83.
Newman died Friday after a long battle with cancer at his farmhouse near Westport, publicist Jeff Sanderson said. He was surrounded by his family and close friends.
