One way to live forever is to make the good and worth things in people’s hearts. I think he did so.

I will never forget Fast Eddie and Cool Hand Luke, it was great to see an actor that made a difference, in his actions, and was not after fanfare, It would be nice if others can learn from a Saint on Earth!

Paul, I’m listen to “Plastic Jesus and It’s in the way that you use it” Cool Hand Luke and Fast Eddie will Live For ever.

Peace out Brother and Mahalolo for the good times!

An actor died but his example of human being will last forever. If each person believes on its power to change things in the world (like Paul Newmann does) we certainly could see a better place to live.

It has been said many times that we have lost a legend.I really don’t think there are enough terms to describe the kind of person we really lost.I only know that he was never given the recognition in Hollywood.Nominated all those times and only 2 oscars.I am so thankful he was with his lovely wife Joanne and family when he left us.He will always hold a special place in my heart.I fell for him when I was very young.Probably too young those (blue) eyes. One of a kind that’s what he was…a real earth shaker.

Rest in Peace Paul from Texas

I know this will sound weird but my father bore a striking resemblance to Paul Newman. Hearing of his death feels a bit like losing my dad all over again. I am very sad. He was an amazing actor and a terrific human being. What a sad day.

I fell for Paul Newman after seeing “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” and “The Sting” many moons ago. I respected him as actor with the various choices he made thereafter, having been unfamiliar with his roles prior to those two films. Over the last 15 years or so, I have been infinitely impressed many times over every time I enter a food store and see Newman’s Own on the shelf. I just bought N.Own’s Basalmic Vinegar the other day and continue to be amazed at the selflessness of starting a company which donates ALL proceeds to charity. That is an amazing undertaking and quite a role model of philanthropic generosity on the part of an actor who could have easily glided by on his looks and legend. Philanthropy is on my mind first and foremost when I think of Paul Newman, not only due to Newman’s Own, but also to seeing Paul Newman on film way back when, thinking, “there’s something about him.” And now we all know - generosity of action and spirit towards many others!

If only hollywood took his lead with all that can be accomplished thrugh philanthropy. Paul Newman was the best of the best in every way. All the money that is had by entertainers big and small can take head and be less selfish…..oh, the unfortunate ones out there would benifit 100 fold.
Paul Newman left quite an example if only the wealthy in his field will follow.

“He was smiling… That’s right. You know, that, that Luke smile of his. He had it on his face right to the very end. Hell, if they didn’t know it ‘fore, they could tell right then that they weren’t a-gonna beat him. That old Luke smile. Oh, Luke. He was some boy. Cool Hand Luke. Hell, he’s a natural-born world-shaker.”

RIP Paul Newman… the coolest…
