A sad day, and wonderful partnerships: Newman/Woodward and professionally Newman/Redford. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Newman and Ms. Woodward about a year ago...nice genuine people.
Yes Sluggo, "Nobody's Fool" is an excellent movie! Also, an excellent driver and racer beyond his 80th year. IIRC he has the track speed record at Limerock here in CT.

The words "legendary" and "charisma" get used too often but when one talks about Paul Newman both are appropriate. He had plenty of the latter and was certainly the former.
My biggest impression? He was a humble man who knew he was gifted but considered himself lucky rather than entitled. He lived his beliefs and then backed them up with action and money - almost always without fanfare and publicity. It was the right thing to do. Because of him the world he left was a little bit better than the world he entered. A good man. A good human being. A star.

People knew he raced,but the team he was co-owner and co-founder of,Newman/Haas Racing won 105 Indy(Champ) races,and 8 series championships in 25 years.
Oh,and he was one of the finest actors in film,and a real humanitarian. RIP,sir,you will be missed. Jimmy

He was one of a kind. A truly great person. A talented actor and a damn good race car driver. There have been many Hollywood types that have taken up racing but none have been anywhere near successful as PJ Newman. He was winning races driving Bob Sharp Z's well into his 60's. You can't buy that. You have to earn it.
Happy trails Paul, Happy trails. - Pete

RIP Mr. Newman!
 When I think of Paul, I think of The Sting. That was my wife's and my movie. We saw it numerous times the summer before we married. To us, it was Newman and Redford at their best.

Unlike many of the popular actors in Hollywood, Newman was a standup individual from everything I have seen. Also, Liberty is a big fan of Fig Newmans.

One of the greats has passed.
Loved his acting and those sauces and dressings were pretty good!
