He was truly altruistic, the stigma of egotism could never be laid at his door!


Charities!

Lato - What's your favourite Paul Newman film, mine is, perhaps predictably, The Sting but only because I haven't seen much of his early work.

i always think these posts are too far fetched,like sometimes we mourn a celebrities life for the sake of it but paul newman is different,he is a legend and i am gutted

[AncientBlue]

Very, very sad. RIP

The Sting is a fine film but I enjoy it because of Robert Shaws performance. I think Newman and Redford were better together in Butch Cassidy. However I think my favourite Newman role is Cool Hand Luke.

 

Apart from the obvious examples, I too haven't seen a lot of Paul Newmans work but I was always impressed by his ability and also his humility which came across in many of the interviews I have seen with him. I think that is one of the reasons why the overused term 'legend' can rightly be applied to him...RIP.
