One of my favourite of his performances was opposite Steve McQueen in The Towering Inferno.
RIP, Mr. Newman.
RIP, Mr. Newman.
Such a great talent, a terrible loss.
One of the most important books in my life, the one that originally sparked my love for all things literary, actually begins with a nod to Mr. Newman:
When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home. I was wishing I looked like Paul Newman -he looks tough and I don't...
RIP
Newman's daughters described him as a devoted husband, a loving father, an adoring grandfather and a dedicated philanthropist.
"Our father was a rare symbol of selfless humility, the last to acknowledge what he was doing was special," they said in a statement. "Intensely private, he quietly succeeded beyond measure in impacting the lives of so many with his generosity.
"Always and to the end, Dad was incredibly grateful for his good fortune. In his own words: 'It's been a privilege to be here.'"
