He's one of the famous names of Hollywood, and lately, grocery stores. I wasn't a major fan of his, but I recognize his talent.

Who can forget Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - a classic pairing of him and Redford.
What is your favorite Paul Newman film - or do you prefer his foods?

I am very sad to hear he passed away. He was a great family man and actor. Its sad to hear he lost his battle with cancer.

Yes, I read about that. His second marriage to Joanne Woodward lasted over 50 years. That is no small feat in Hollywood! I was very fond of them both because they so obviously loved each other, and they really wanted to leave a better world behind. I have only ever tasted his salad dressing, but I admired how he wanted to make more healthy, more organic kinds of food.

I hadn't heard... Thanks for posting. He's one of my favorites and aged gracefully. In the article you cite, it says he is survived by an older brother... Paul was 83, so how old is his brother?!?

Neither me, but then he was very private about his personal life.

I only heard of his foods, never as an actor. Might have something to do with the fact that I was born many years after those early movies.

I've probably got some of them on DVD. We have heaps of older movies that the other half decided to buy one day. Still waiting to watch them.

Wow, a month later and I just got the news. (We have internet, but no television/cable). Too bad. He was a very talented man.

I have been a fan since I was a kid. Quality is a good description of him and his products. I have tried a few of this products and they were just as good as any others. He not only was a very good actor, family man, and philanthropist but an all around good guy. Not many of those left in Hollywood. He was a type of person who enjoyed what he did, acting, racing,etc.

It is saturday after noon and I had not heard of such a thing. I did watch the news this morning. I am sure he will be missed. Did you know that all the proceeds from his selling Newsown brand goes to charities. What a good guy.
