Actor Paul Newman Passes Away
Sad news has been announced that actor Paul Newman passes away at the age of 83 years old. He has been battling cancer and passed away yesterday (Friday). A truly great actor with so many accomplishments will be greatly missed. We will always remember him and his amazing roles in movies such as The Sting, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, Cool Hand Luke, and so many more. Thanks for all the performances and memories, my thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

A real shame. Quite impressive that he managed to have a lengthy career in Hollywood without falling victim to the traps of fame that so many others have.

I have always thought that Paul Newman ways a one of a kind actor. The combination of Paul Newman and Robert Redford made for some fantastic movies. I never knew before he passed away that all the profit from his line of branded food went to charity and will continue to do so. I will be keeping my eye out for thoise products now that I know the moiney goes to a good cause.

Always sad when we lose a cinematic great.

Not only was he a great actor but just as good of an athlete and and even better person. My dad spent some years with him back in the day and told me that he wouldn’t hesitate to help someone out. Great guy and he will be missed by many people.

Agreed with SFO Lawyer above - the Paul Newman/Robert Redford combination was amazing! I’d been supporting Newman’s charitable projects for years via his great salad dressings and other edibles. Paul Newman was more than just an actor…more than just a race car driver…more than just a philanthropist…Paul Newman was the kind of man most men aspire to be. He will be missed. Thanks for the memories Mr. Newman.

Prayers for him. He was a great actor and he made a deep tracks in movie industry, Paul, rest in peace!

“that is too bad mr newman will be missed but his videos will live forever”
I totally agree, we will never forget him.
on October 3rd, 2008 at 2:06 am
A sad news, but we can look at a brighter side… At least now, he feel pain no more and may he rest in peace. Rest assured his movies will last forever. A great actor that will always be remembered.

It always feel bad to lose persons like Paul Newman. The only thing we can do is pray that his soul rests in peace and that can be done by inculcating amazing qualitites that he possessed and spread the love around the world.
on October 5th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
An actor of his magnitude will always be remembered. Show your kids the movies and try to get them to appreciate it and he will always have a place here.
on October 6th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
I really liked him as an actor. From what i heard he was also a great man. I am looking forwrd to seeing the sting yet again tonight.
on October 11th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Paul Newman led a life of quiet dignity…many of today’s celebrities would do well to imitate him.
on October 14th, 2008 at 10:23 am
This was horrible news, his performance in color of money is legendary!
on October 15th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
I was sooo sad when I heard this news. He had done such great things for society and charity. He certainly will be missed.

I loved Paul Newman but he had a good innings that’s for sure, and made some tremendous films along the way.
RIP

Paul Newman was a great actor and activist. it is sad to see him go. He will be sorely missed. All of his movies were classics. He was a classy kind of guy. He was one of the best actors from a time when actors were actually intelligence to truly stand for something.
on November 3rd, 2008 at 9:14 am
I was a great fan and mourn his passing.
on November 5th, 2008 at 9:27 am
I had never even seen a Paul Newman movie until last year - and that wasn’t even really him acting - it was for the movie “Cars” where he was the voice of Hudson. I really loved how he characterized that part. It was after that when I started “Netflixing” more of his movies and I really think he was one of the best. I am sorry I didn’t discover him earlier on, but better late than never. He was an extraordinary person.
on November 11th, 2008 at 7:58 am
Film producer John Daly recently died too. This isn’t a very happy year for Hollywood. Two greats in a year is indeed a big loss to the industry.
on November 12th, 2008 at 9:32 am
Hollywood lost a legend in more then one ways. He was such a stand up guy who had such an impact in both in Hollywood and outside of it. I can not think of a current actor who could be considered in his league for all around great guy.
on November 24th, 2008 at 8:19 am
I will always remember him in The Hustler. What a great movie about pool!
on November 29th, 2008 at 3:07 am
Great actor. Amazing in “Cool Hand Luke”.
RIP

This is sad news he was a great actor although he wasn’t in my time he was still a great person to aspire to.
on December 5th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
This took sort of a back burner with all the other news going on about the economy and the bailouts. R.I.P. Paul Newman. You were a hell of an actor and probably a good guy too.
on December 9th, 2008 at 7:06 am
that’s a really sad news for us…because we movie lovers want truly actors like him…
may his soul rest in peace…..
on December 9th, 2008 at 11:45 am
Paul Newman has been one of the best things that has ever come to the movie industry. He’s gonna be missed.
on December 11th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Paul Newman will be missed, the only good thing for him is, he passed away, but the one of the last things he did was race at Lime Rock Park for a day.
on December 23rd, 2008 at 1:54 am

He surely will be missed. I have featured him in my blog too, as one of Keanu Reeves’ mentors. Condolence to the bereaved.

The world lost a great talent and a better man. Paul Newman is a great example of everything a star should be.

wow, where have i been, 4 month old news, r.i.p paul
on February 3rd, 2009 at 9:49 am
Thanks for this post.
on February 12th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
This is horrible news.
Thanks to Turner classic movies I was able to catch some old Paul Newman flixks and he was simply the MAN. Cool Hand Luke was one of the best movies I had ever seen, and didn’t feel too dated. It was just great.
I also caught a movie - woud love if someone could help me out with the title, but basically, these guys rob Newman and a bunch of other people. But Newman ends up getting the money back and is trying to bring it back to his people - he played a native man, or at least a white guy who grew up with native people.
on February 12th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
I am very sorry for this actor and we will be remembered his accomplishments by whole world and we should take inspiration from this actors.
on February 16th, 2009 at 8:03 am
A very good actor and very good human being. Salute to Paul. We miss u a lot man.
on February 20th, 2009 at 8:27 am
I really enjoyed Paul’s acting and several of his movies were favorites of mine. It’s really sad to see him go, but he will always live on in his awesome movies. Rest In Peace my man.
on February 24th, 2009 at 7:02 am
Paul Newman was the best, he will be missed. Love his salad dressing too!
on February 26th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
you will miss us
on March 1st, 2009 at 2:26 pm
You can’t help but admire a guy that was not only an accomplished actor, but he was also a dedicated philanthropist and humanitarian.
BTW… Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time.
on March 13th, 2009 at 4:38 am
The passing of Paul Newman is very sad. On top of the movies you mention above (which I LOVED!), how ’bout The Color Of Money? Paul Newman has too many too mention. He was also a great man!
on March 18th, 2009 at 2:12 am
GOODBYE BLUE EYES.YOU ARE SURELY IN HEAVEN.
on March 19th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
I really liked him as an actor. From what i heard he was also a great man.
on March 21st, 2009 at 2:36 pm
Paul was a great actor and a great man
on March 27th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
You are so right! Paul Newman, who is in his 80’s has stayed so amazingly attractive and sexy! Like fine wine, he’s only gotten better with age. And those eyes are so crystal blue aren’t they???
on April 2nd, 2009 at 11:17 am
I’m still thinking of Paul Newman, in the bunkhouse eating eggs, with George Kennedy by his side with a watch, checking to see if Cool Hand Luke is going to win the bet. I like the line “sayin’ it’s your job don’t make it right boss”. I think Hollywood is running out of really great stars.
on April 18th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
He was a great film actor.
on April 18th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Paul is one of my favorite actors and I regret not watching his movies enough recently. From The Hustler to Road to Perdition, many great movies. One scene I will never forget is the eggs in Cool Hand Luke.
on April 18th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
RIP, Paul…
Man, I’ll never forget “What we have here is a failure to communicate.”
Great movie. Great actor. From an era we’ll unfortunately never see again.
on April 30th, 2009 at 8:00 am
Great actor, when I was 5 our neighbour was looking exactly like him hahaha
on May 4th, 2009 at 1:31 am
I was very saddened that Paul Newman died, he was a great guy for sure. I was happy to hear though… that one of the last things he did, was be at a race track, doing what he loved. That is racing his car around the Lime Rock Track.
Till then,
Jean
on May 4th, 2009 at 7:09 pm

another legend has left us, but has left behind a legacy of not only great performances, but of charity and generosity that rivals his acting skills and good looks.
