Re: O T - Goodbye Paul Newman

"What we have here... is a failure to communicate."
"Who ARE those guys?"
One of my alltime favorites is "The Color of Money" although I would watch "The Sting" yet again if it were on. Hell, most all of Paul's movies I'd watch over and over.
Love his Sockarooni spaghetti sauce, and most of his salad dressings. Fact: his company donated over $100 million to charity. Not many can say that.
Fact: Paul was also one hell of a race car driver, and at one time was co-owner of Newman/Haas Racing.
Fact: he was married to the same woman (Joanne Woodward) for over 50 years.
RIP Paul, you were truly a class act.

Great actor, seemed like a good guy.

I mentioned at work today that Paul Newman had died.... got a blank stare from the 3 young guys (under 30) that I was working with. Despairingly I said, "The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke...." More blank stares.

Finally one guy said, "Cool Hand Luke, yeah.... I think my dad likes that movie..."

sigh.....

I am middle-aged (56) if I live to be 112....
