R.I.P.

I have just heard that Paul Newman has died.

A true star and a good actor (rare these days).

He will be missed.

Oh, that's sad. I didn't know. His wife will miss him terribly, after a lifetime together.

He did always seem to be a class act (pun not intended!) as well as a wonderful actor.

I was lucky enough to see him, and his wife, at a karate demonstration for charity in the 1980's. He was there representing his Hole in the Wall camp for kids.

I love his spirit, and I buy his foods whenever possible because they taste great, and the proceeds go to charity.

Good old blue eyes... sigh.

I didn't realize he was in his 80s. Such a fine actor and decent man and seemed to remove himself from the shallowness of the Hollywood crowd.

I loved his eyes.

Funnily enough, Seaspray, I think he would have hated the comment about his eyes. He wanted to be judged by more than that!

(Mind you, I agree 8-)

Aye. For me, it was always his mouth. Scrumptious!
