Paul Newman Has Passed

It is a sad day today, as Paul Newman, a screen legend, has lost his recent battle to cancer.   His struggles had been know for sometime, and he lived a long and eventful life to the age of 83, but he will be sorely missed in the film community.

Staring in an umpteen amount of classics, Cool Hand Luke, The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Hustler, The Hudsucker Proxy, The Verdict, Road to Perdition, Slap Shot, and many, many more.   He also contributed much to society and charity with his Newman’s Own line of foods and was always giving back to his film community as well; inspiring ends upon ends of actors through the years.

So do yourself a favor and go rent a Newman classic tonight and pop a nice bag of Newman’s Own popcorn and remember one of the great actors of all time, who will live on with us for as long as we watch his work in film.
