Paul Newman

I remember seeing him for the first time in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - he was a class act and will be greatly missed. The younger stars could really learn from his example - he was a caring man and a great star that never let his celebrity go to his head. I read where he and his pal Robert Redford were planning to do one more movie together, but Paul’s health had declined too much. I knew he was seriously ill, but it was still sad to hear of his passing.

I have the following quote on my fridge. It was said by Joanne Woodward, Paul Newman's wife.

"Sexiness wears thin after a while and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that's a real treat."

I haven't seen many of his movies but am impressed by his charity work and being so "un-Hollywood".
