Godspeed.

Wow... I'm shocked and saddened by this. I've always admired his work and everything he's done since I was a kid. Rest in peace, Paul.

In bad taste, sorry  Embarrassed I spent all day yesterday at a Micro brew festival and drank about 16 pints.

Paul Newman was actually one of my favorite actors. WW2 vet, race car drive and owner, he acted in a boat load of great movies. Cool Hand Luke, The Hustler, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Drowning Pool, The Color of Money, Road to Perdition, and on and on. He will be missed.
