I've been seeing dribs & drabs about his being terminally ill for a few weeks now. Though I hoped it was a rumor, sadly it's apparently true.
Unlike earlier generation legends such as Spencer Tracy, Bogart or Clark Gable who died when I was just a kid or before I was even born...Paul Newman is to me a contemporary. He was still in his prime when I was old enough to understand what a movie star was.
It'll be a sad day, indeed...my heart goes out to Newman and his WHOLE family.

Bummer. He was one of those actors who caught my attention when I was a kid. The first movie I remember seeing him in was "Somebody Up There Likes Me." He played Rocky Graziano, the middleweight fighter. Comfort and peace to him.

Aside from being one of the all time great actors, he was a decent race car driver and more important a great philanthropist. He has made millions for charity with his food products (all of which are damn good quality imho), and by giving hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to the Metropolitan Opera and various theatre companies in New York. A true Rennaisance man.
