Yes, I just received this in an Email. It said it was cancer, and that he was 83.

RIP, Paul.

Fort Apache: The Bronx. The Color of Money. Fat Man and Little Boy. The Hudsucker Proxy. The Road to Perdition. Cars.


Quite a list. Quite a star. We'll miss him.

Re: AP Reports Paul Newman has passed away

For some odd reason, I had a feeling about this for the last week or so. Maybe it was just coincidence due to the re-release of "Cool Hand Luke".

Newman was an iconic actor, an actor whose death I think will affect many people in a deeply personal way. At the time of his greatest period, I was too young to be among the millions who loved him. But watching his films in retrospect, I can easily see his charisma and power. "The Hustler", in particular, is in the top echelon of my favorite films.

As a person, from what I've read, one can hardly imagine what a wonderful man he was. In his charitable causes, fealty to his wife and family and basic humility. He seems to be one of those few stars who one really would have liked to know in everyday life.

My deepest sorrows and sympathies to his family, his friends, his fans and, really, to all of us.

I would hope that WB would bring out THE RACK and THE PRIZE. One of the last truly iconic movie stars.

His death has been expected, with recent news that he wanted to be transfered from the hospital to his home where he wanted to die, but it's still shocking to hear.

One of the best of all time.

For months THE ENQUIRER was running stories on his demise and
I hoped that the story was...well....it's THE ENQUIRER after all.

This is such sad news as Newman was a true Hollywood icon.
