Re: RIP Paul Newman

That he was Daddy
Apparently he started his food business on a lark back in the late sixties saying that all profits would go to charities.A man of his word(a rarity in Hollywood) he grew his business over the years and has donated 250 million dollars to many charities."The Hole in the Wall" camp set up for handi-capped children amongst the few he had started.
Definitely an original

Re: RIP Paul Newman

Not to mention the man was responsible for the greatest salad dressing in the history of all salad dressings.(seriously!) And the coolest scene in all of film history when he ate 60 hard boiled eggs in 1 hour. What's the name of this film?(was it 'Cool Hand Luke'?) He was in prison on an island somewhere......Paul Newman was one cool dude and a fine man as well.

Give everything but up.

Re: RIP Paul Newman

I was sorry to hear of Paul Newman's death.
It seems his name has been around in films for all my life and what a great Hollywood actor he was.
"Cool Hand Luke" is one of my favourite films...
An excellent man and fine actor
RIP Paul....

Cool Hand Luke it was but it was set in the south, not on an island... that might have been Papillon with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman - one of the finest prison movies ever!
