I was 17 years old when I watched "Cool Hand Luke". That weekend I took the bet to eat 30 hard boiled eggs in 30 minutes. In the 70's I decided whenever I needed to be cool, I WWPND.

The man lived a rich life. He left us a lifetime of outstanding work to remember him by, both on and off the screen.

I was the karaoke/dj at one of the parties of his Kid’s Camp. He was helping serve the food and cleaning the kitchen...and posing for photos with all the kids and staff. He was so nice to everyone and very generous with his time. Those special kids had a friend in Paul Newman. God Bless him.

I cared a lot less for his acting and a lot more for his driving/racing, personally.

Either way, an accomplished man. He will be sorely missed.

A posting on Wiki isn’t confirmation...no other source has this yet....I’d feel better if it was confirmed by the family or a spokesman.

What sad news this morning. I greatly enjoyed his fine acting... May he rest in peace.

Prayers for all his loved ones, family, and even his fans who are mourning this loss.

"The Hustler" finally came out on DVD last fall and I saw it for the first time. The movie was great and Newman and Gleason were excellent........

Another hollywood icon leaves us......

Okay, so which movies should AMC or Turner show next weekend for their Newman marathon?

I'll buy some Newman's Own pretzels and watch some of them.

Oh dear LORD!!

I love Paul Newman, but I feared he was getting very ill.

RIP Mr. Newman.
