One of the finest people and actors ever. I haven't seen most of his movies, but "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "Cool Hand Luke" are two of the greatest movies ever made.
I make it a point to buy his "Newman's Own" products whenever possible. I hope the line continues when he's gone. God bless him and his family.
I read somewhere that the whole "Newman's Own" thing started out as a joke between him and another friend. It blossomed into something really amazing and beautiful.
God's speed Mr. Newman.
There's a great book about how the business started, written by his partner, A.E. hotchner. basically, he started packaging some of his stuff for friends. Then, they decided to sell it because it was so popular. The mareting company said they had to put his face on the bottle so it would sell. newman was against it at first, but agreed to put his face on the bottle, but said he couldn't profit from it with his face on there, and that all profits should go to charity. they've raised hundreds of millions for his "Hole In The Wall" Camps, for sick children. The book is a great read, and of course, every dime goes to the camps for sick kids.

The line will continue. His daughter has a hand in it, she runs the organics division. I also love the stuff. I use the marinara, iced tea, lemonade, grape juice, cereals, salad dressings, marinades, and more. It feels good nowing that the money is going to a camp for sick kids, but the stuff is all great on top of it.
The irony is that his food product company, Newman's Own, donated 100% of its profits to cancer charities, totalling almost 200 million in donations in total.
I love him in "Slap Shot".

I don't care if it rains or freezes
'Long as I got my plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through my trials and tribulations
And my travels through the nations
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far
Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
I'm afraid He'll have to go
His magnets ruin my radio
And if I have a wreck He'll leave a scar
Riding down a thoroughfare
With His nose up in the air
A wreck may be ahead, but He don't mind
Trouble coming He don't see
He just keeps His eye on me
And any other thing that lies behind
Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Though the sunshine on His back
Make Him peel, chip and crack
A little patching keeps Him up to par
When I'm in a traffic jam
He don't care if I say "damn"
I can let all my curses roll
Plastic Jesus doesn't hear
'Cause he has a plastic ear
The man who invented plastic saved my soul
Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Once His robe was snowy white
Now it isn't quite so bright
Stained by the smoke of my cigar
If I weave around at night
And policemen think I'm tight
They never find my bottle, though they ask
Plastic Jesus shelters me
For His head comes off, you see
He's hollow, and I use Him for a flask
Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Ride with me and have a dram
Of the blood of the Lamb
Plastic Jesus is a holy bar
Really sad news, my sister and I are huge fans, we are like connoisseurs of his work, we've seen more than half of his movies and we own some of them as well, a true legend, one of the greatest actors of all time and one amazing human being, we're really going to miss you Paul, Thanks for giving us memories that are unforgettable and simply irreplacable, Thank you for giving me and my sister wonderful times, We'll miss you Paul, We love you....God speed and God bless your wonderful family and friends.
Rest in peace Paul....You were an "original"

such a total class act.
as an actor, and as a human being.
i remember a quote of his in regars to fidelity basically stating...why go for hamburger when you have filet mignon at home. joanne woodard had a true love.
I read that Paul Newman was with one his daughters last week, knowing the end was near and said: "It was a privilege to have been here." What a class act. The world is a better place because of him. Godspeed, Paul.
in the town next door resides his camp for terminally ill children...appropriately named...it's such an unassuming place in a rural, quiet area, and it brings such peace to those who enter it's grounds...
