Paul Newman has finished chemotherapy and has told his family he wants to die at home...
Yesterday, it was reported in America that Newman, 83, had only weeks to live and had returned home to his wife, Joanne Woodward...

You should definitely watch “The Sting” and also “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” Newman and Redford are both leftists, but those two movies are classics.
He may be a lib but anyone who can eat 50 eggs is ok by me.
Today Bernie Mac, and now soon(?) Paul Newman, sad all around....
I think you have the wrong thread. :)
That was basically my experience with my mom also. Only problem we had was getting bed, oxygen etc out ASAP. That tood 2 days and we were furious. We were still in shock that she had such little time and she went down hill fast in one week then she was gone. We needed the reminders gone and hospice kept promising they would be gone but they finally took them while we attended the wake. Everything else went smoothly. Such caring people in the world make the experience so much easier.
tood=took reminder use spell check or preview.
It's their rink, it's their ice, and it's their ... town. But tonight we got our fans with us!
They spent their own dough to get here, and they came here to see us! All right, let's show 'em what we got, guys! Get out there on the ice and let 'em know you're there. Get that ... stick in their side. Let 'em know you're there! Get that lumber in his teeth. Let 'em know you're there!
Bleed all over 'em. Let 'em know you're there. (Ned was such a party pooper)
If you get cable TV, I'm sure Turner Classic Movies will have a day's worth of his films when he passes.
Prayers his passing goes painlessly.
Classy guy. Great actor. Crappy politics.
Newman a fellow Cleveland native. I can recall shopping in his dad’s store (Newman-Sterns, one of the largest and best outdoor/sporting goods shops in Cleveland) with my father and grandmother.)
While I didn’t agree with much of his politics, I appreciated his talent as an actor and respected and admired his many charitable works.
Godspeed, Paul. You will be missed.
Too many FR windows open at one time I'd say.
Thank you for mentioning that, he was awesome in that movie, even though I'm pretty sure in real life he was opposed to everything Groves stood for.
Very sad. Great actor, fair racer, but poor politician.

Prayers also that Paul is able to make peace with the Lord before he passes.
In reading many posts expressing good wishes to this dying liberal I try to imagine lefties (of the Kos sort) taking a similar view if a famous conservative had made a similar announcement.
I tried, but I can’t imagine them doing the same.
Go in peace, Mr Newman.
My prayers for Paul and much gratitude for “Cool Hand Luke,” “Butch Cassidy,” “The Helen Morgan Story,” and many many other great movies.
You said it well. My sentiments exactly.
Regardless of his politics, I enjoyed countless movies he did and he will be missed.
