I know this is not a celeb-crazy group but I really liked Paul Newman. Married to his wife for ages, lots of charity to work and just because he was old enough to be my Grandpa, doesn't mean he wasn't handsome! Sad loss, granted it was a long life lived.

I was sad too. I turned my computer on this morning, and it was on my homepage. He was such a great man. He lead a very interesting life, for sure.

I knew he had cancer but I was still surprised to have that hit me in the face first thing in the morning.
At first I was sad then I thought, 'hey, he had a pretty full life'.

The world definitely lost a great man in so many ways yesterday (he died Friday, is my understanding). Prayers to his wife who is also a class act, Joanne Woodward. He was truly one of the greats.

Definitely a class act for sure.
I bought one of his chocolate bars in his honor today.

I just ate some Paul Newman popcorn last night while watching the presidential debate. What a wonderful person. He will be missed.
