Do you have any thoughts regarding the passing of legendary actor PAUL NEWMAN?

Asked by JackAdams (6574points) September 27th, 2008

He was 83 when he died Friday (9–26-08) in his Connecticut home, and my fondest memories of him, are what he once told an interviewer, about his wife (and fellow Oscar® winner), Joanne Woodward, with whom he had one of Hollywood’s rare long-term marriages.

“I have steak at home, why go out for hamburger?” Newman told Playboy® magazine when asked if he was ever tempted to stray.

They wed in 1958, around the same time they both appeared in The Long Hot Summer and he directed her in several films, including Rachel, Rachel and The Glass Menagerie.

I, for one, will miss him very much. His company, Newman’s Own, raised million$ for charitable organizations, worldwide.
