Just heard it on the news.

The great Paul Newman has passed away.

Truly, one of the biggest actors in history.

It's a sad day today.

R.I.P.

Sad .... Cool Hand ...

CARE.....

It was said that as recently as a couple years ago, he still wanted to make another film with Robert Redford, but that they never found a script they thought was good enough. You have to admire that kind of thinking. If it's not going to be as good or better than what you've already done, and you don't need the money, don't do it.

love and light to him, and thanks and praises

This is very sad news.

Paul Newman was one of the all-time movie greats who somehow we thought would live forever.

First thing what's on my mind, when I hear about was : ''Sweet Bird Of Youth''

Sad news indeed. He was one of the greatest

Keep On Rolling

One of the great actors. He was serious about his craft. Also, he remained married to Joanne for 50 years, unusual in Hollywood.

R.I.P.

Tell you what.......I saw this breaking news on IORR, BEFORE CNN and FOX NEWS put it on the air.

Another example of how Stones fans are connected with the world.

It's getting to the point where I check this website for news before I switch on the major news outlets.

I can see it now.....

"Did you hear the news about the earthquake in China?"

"No, I didn't.....let me pull up iorr.org, and I'll see....."

RIP, Paul Newman, and classic in every way. My favorite line of his was when they asked him why he never strayed from his wife of many years, and he said:

"I have steak at home.....why would I go out for hamburger?"

My favorite lines about one of his characters from a movie? George Kennedy:

"Smilin' that old Luke smile." and "He grin like a baby, but he bite like a gator."

Thanks for the smiles, Paul.

Sleep well, Paul. Rest In Peace.

Not just a great star, but a great man.

So many great movies, I knew he wasn't well but still a shock. Some of my favs, Butch Cassidy, Hud, The Hustler, Cool Hand.

"Too soon gone."

RIP I hope they´ve got 50 hard bolied eggs in heaven. Thanks for you talent.

I just heard about Paul too ....
Quite sad but what a load of great movies he made.

My favorite was The Sting ...

The line went something like ...

"Do you think we can get anyone to go in with us?'

"Hmm..only a couple hundred" ....

Or something like that

Y'all remember that rubber legged boy

Sad news indeed.

RIP.

First film of his I saw was The Sting (still a favourite), followed by Butch Casidy & The Sundance Kid. (Classic closing line: "For a moment there I thought we were in trouble".)

Best performance he gave, I think, was The Verdict.

A truly great actor. Saw Absence of Malice again recently. Newman was great orchestrating the comeupence of those who tried to squeeze him into a snitch, or grass.

sad news

great actor....great family man...great humanitarian

Sad to hear. One of my late mother's all time favorite actors and consequently, one of mine as well,ever since I saw Butch Cassdiy & The Sundance Kid. I'm not a huge movie buff,but I did make a point of trying to see most of Paul Newman's movies. He had a charisma and charm that was just infectious.One of the great actors of our time.

Cool Hand Luke is gone......cool head Luke still lives in the mountains of NC

A good man in a dirty industry. He lived life fully and did much to help others. Not a bad set of innings. Thanks Paul and God Bless.

Another great guy is gone....RIP.

Reading about him today, he had said he's always been a character actor...this despite his looks. He played against type. In 2007 he decided he couldn't act anymore because his memory was going, and his focus.

Excellent actor, great guy. I wish I could have seen him live, as the Stage Manager in Our Town on Broadway in 2002.

Paul is dead. Miss him. Miss him.

Buy a jar of his pasta sauce.

The way he screamed "sh----i----t!" while jumping off a cliff in Butch Cassidy was one of the more inspired uses of expletives in modern cinema.
