Wow. Bad news. I know he was a lefty, but he wasn't a loud or mean lefty.
Newman was a great actor and I have enjoyed his movies for decades.
May he rest in peace.

Liberals like that, I don’t mind. He put his money where his mouth was, quietly, which is more than we can say about a lot of people, liberal or conservative.
He was married for forty years, which is more than we can say about a lot of people, liberal or conservative.
If the rest of the left was like him, we’d be in great shape.

” He also made MANY stinkers and was vastly overrated as an actor. A hardcore liberal his whole life and loved by Hollywood.”

Tell us what you really think.

You have also got to admire the way he stayed married to the same woman. He was a good role model. He seemed like a devoted husband. That says something about a man’s character.

What garnered Newman a huge amount of respect was that he wanted to make a difference--and he did it through the Newman's Own food company, who donates 100% of its profits to charity (US$220 million donated as of this month since the company was founded in 1982). I think a lot of the Hollywood Left today are kicking themselves for not doing this idea earlier.

A great, often under-appreciated actor who really did make a difference in the lives of many people for the right reasons--he will be sorely missed.

Best role? "The Verdict." Simply an outstanding movie.

Hated the guy's politics, but gotta give credit where credit is due ...

As much as I respected the man with his "HOLE IN THE WALL CAMP", and meeting them a few times (At Lime Rock Raceway, at Shady Glen (a restaurant he and JoAnne loved to visit) and meeting him at his 'Hole In The Wall' camp), and his movies, I won't say anything bad about his politics.

HollyWeird lost another great actor, and the racing world lost a great racer/owner. Prayers goes out to his family.

He and I met at LimeRock Raceway and he was truly an ACTOR. He was a great DRIVER, and Newman/Haas/Langigan Racing will miss its leader. (I have to see what Jayski’s Page have to say about this racing legend!)

Paul Newman was a star in Hollywood when it was cool.

I was the karaoke/dj at one of the parties of his Kid’s Camp.

Was it the Ashford camp? I was a councilor for a year there!!

RIP “Luke”.

Newman was a dyed-in-the-wool left wing liberal,

GreenAccord, he was, but he was very Down to Earth. Politically I didn’t like him, but meeting him (I worked at his camp for a year) he was not the ‘ACTORS’ of today, but a humble man.

My kids think of Cars and spaghetti sauce when they think of Paul Newman.
