"Cool Hand Luke" dies at 83

[Evel KMego]

One of the greats for sure.

[starsky]

class act all the way! a true icon in every sense of the word. not to mention being married to the same woman for all these years especially in hollywood.

[Johnny]

Truly, one of the great ones.

R.I.P. Mr. Newman.

[hobub]

Sad indeed. I didn't realize he was that old. He's lived a good long life. My favorite film he made besides of course Butch Cassidy, was the life and times of Judge Roy Bean. If you like westerns, it's one to watch.

Since we're on the topic. You know, Rutger Hauer has always reminded me of him. Ever since I first saw him in Blade Runner and the Hitcher.

being the big movie buff that i am. i can say it is a very sad today in american film history.

[Marvelmania]

Completely a class act. RIP Mr. Newman

[jwyblejr]

Loved him in Silent Movie. Racing and jumping a wheelchair,how cool was that?

[Mikey]

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.

[Hector]

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)...

Cool Hand Luke is one of may all-time favorites. Sad news.

Mine too...a great Actor. Sad news indeed.

[Goblin19]

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

[Hotfoot]

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.

[Gorn Captain]

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.

[EMCE Hammer]

Cool Hand Luke is one of may all-time favorites. Sad news.

[Zemo]

Rip Fast Eddie, a good race car driver in his on right also.
