Yeah, not surprised after all of his reported health issues.
RIP!

Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.

One of the great, if not greatest, actors of all time, and a philanthropist of the highest order as well.
I just ordered The Hustler on DVD a couple days ago. I'm excited to see it again.

Definitely a doer and not a talker.

That's too bad. He was one of the greatest. I recommend Hud as one of his best roles and performances.

Didn't know he was still alive before now.

Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

He was a good man. "What we have here is a failure to communicate". Loved it.

My favorite Paul Newman anecdote comes from what I believe was a 60 minutes interview. For those of you who don't know, Newman and Robert Redford are(were) great friends, having met and done a few roles together (The Sting, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid). Newman, I believe, started a tradition of pranking each other, which culminated with a gift for what I believe was a milestone birthday for Rpbert Redford. He had a Porsche delivered to Redford's house and left in the driveway. However when Redford came home, what he discovered was a busted up, unsuable Porsche. Not to be out-done, he had the Porsche compressed into a small cube, and with the help of a friend, dragged it into Newman's home one day while he was away, doing a considerable amount of damage to his flooring, Redford noted (it left a nice indentation where it was left to sit).
Newman never said a word, never acknowledged that anything happened. Which, Redford notes, essentially means he won.

Let's not forget his cigar-chewing turn as the villain in "The Hudsucker Proxy." Paul Newman as a baddie -- and sooo good at it.
Damn, there goes a good'un.

I like Color of Money more. Besides, I had Tom Cruise hair at the time.

This is almost like that moment when you found out that older guy you had always idolized was actually a lamer who just couldn't impress anyone his own age so had to hang out with your crowd…
You hurt me, Ice. You hurt me real bad.

I don't mean to hurt you. I'm 32 years old. I was 10 years old when The Color of Money came out(1986). I was probably 12 or so before I saw it for the first time. My first post in this thread is me gushing about Paul Newman. I was a 12 year old who though Paul Newman was a badass.
I, like other 12 year olds at the time, thought Cruise was a cool dude. Be cool, have chicks, learn pool from a Pro.. also maybe fly a fighter jet, Top Gun. Risky Business? Yea, that too. It wasn't until many years later that I realized Tom Cruise was much shorter than me and a crazy religious guy.
A man named Dragon lived down the street, he was a war vet and a badass dude all-around. He taught me just about everything I know now regarding billiards, including hustling. I do it today when I'm bored at a bar.
All the while I was also watching Paul Newman movies, including The Hustler. I like Paul Newman and his movies A LOT, even though he's 50 years older than me.
Did you just say I'm almost like a lamer who couldn't impress anyone my own age so I had to hang with younger people? Dude.
Are you still hurt? WALK IT OFF.
I hang out with younger females because they're hot and awesome and have tight skin. Don't hate.
