          Wow, he seemed ageless. Loved "Butch Cassidy" and "The Sting". I read he had been sick. R.I.P.

            Among others, Towering Inferno is one of my all time fav movies.

            He was also great with Jackie Gleason in the Hustler

                    Great actor.
                    Though I still feel, especially in his later years, that he could have made many more good movies. I think he kind of lost the drive to keep on acting.

                      Paul was the role model for what an Actor should be. He will be missed.

                      Here is a picture I took of him in the early 80's at the debut of his 300zx race car. The car quit on the third lap and at the bottom of the S turns he got out and was standing about 15 feet from me. I saw him later in the pits and asked him about it and he said. "Thats racing. Sometimes the car just doesn't want to run!"




                      Ever the gentleman. He and his wife were very generous with charity, including supporting our local theater. Joanne Woodward grew up in Marietta.

                        He's one of my all time favorites and grew up in my area. He will be missed.

                            One of the greates actors who ever lived...and the second coolest after Steve McQueen.

                            I loved his products too (I hear they are going to stop production of these items)...

                              They're going to stop production of all Newman's Own ?

                              Or just the ones you show above ?

                              I love Newman's Own spaghetti sauce.

                              BTW,

                              I heard his daughter runs everything today.
