Jenny in Atl Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 No, he was sick for a good while. I will miss those blue eyes and great smile. What a wonderful marriage those two had. Rare in Hollywood then and now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelli in TN Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Oh, that makes me incredibly sad. I liked him as a actor of course, but more than that he seemed to be a geniunely good human being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krista in LA Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I was just going to post this. I'm so sad. He has always been a family favorite. We watched him race in Lime Rock, CT when he won his first national championship - even have a picture of him with my db and me. He was such neat guy. :crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Thanks for the update. I think he was a great actor, and I always admired him for his charity work and his marriage to Joann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagira Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Wow. I was just thinking about him a few days ago.. How he's getting on in years and that he'll be one of the movie legends remembered. I love his sauces too. Sad. Especially for his family and many friends :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRAAB Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I knew he'd been sick for some time. I've always liked Paul Newman. He and his wife were an amazing couple. Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiguirre Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 While I'm sad to see him go, he had a very full life. I hope his family takes comfort in reflecting on the positive impact he had on so many people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

percytruffle Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Yes, expected, but still sad. Very sad. I have used his salad dressing for years as well as his other products. I hope his company continues to make a positive charitable impact for many years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigitte Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 How sad. He was in our home once when I was a baby. He was campaigning for someone (don't remember who) and my dad was the local campaign contact. Peace to his family.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazakaal Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 So sad. Ds came told me the news while we had some guests here. The teenage visitor had no idea who he was. I couldn't believe it. He's a legend! How can she not know him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*anj* Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Oh my gosh! My husband just walked in and told me. I have to say that I am shocked in a weird kind of way because even though I knew he was getting on in years, I didn't realize that he'd been sick. How sad. What a neat, neat man. If they only thing he'd done was to have a successful movie career while staying married to the same woman lo these many years...well that would've made him remarkable in my eyes. But he did so much more than that. Talk about adding to the beauty.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaNY Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 A close family friend of ours used to work at Ralph Lauren in NYC. He helped fit Mr. Newman for a suit once. Mr. Newman took such a liking to him that he would call him when he was in town so that he could help him out with his wardrobe selection. Once, Joanne Woodward called the house to thank him for helping Paul. He told us that Mr. Newman was a very nice, down-to-earth kind of guy.
