    There aren't any left in movies that can do what he did. RIP Mr Paul Newman

    From all accounts, a very classy, humble guy. An example of how other actors should conduct their lives........no craziness, no drugs, and married to the same lady for 50 years. They broke the mold after making Paul Newman. Rest in Peace, and thank you for the great entertainment and all the charities you helped so graciously.

    Don you are so right! There are too few people like Newman. Good actor, terrific guy, good husband and father, loved motorsports in the first person, and great philanthropist. Not only did he start his own company (Newman's Own) and give the profits to charity, but before he died he gave away the entire company to charity. How many people have you know to do that?

    Met him once years ago, helluva nice guy, no inflated airs. He's deserving of his rest. RIP Paul.

    RIP Cool Hand, you did it right.

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    RIP Paul
    he was a real champion and a class act
    I saw a VW bug convert that was powered with a Ford V-8 that Paul owned.
    The engine filled the back seat area
    pretty cool
