Paul Newman 1925-2008 Paul Newman has died at the age of 83. He will be greatly missed. He was one of my favorites. His performance in Cool Hand Luke is the stuff of legends. I particularly enjoyed him in Cool Hand Luke, The Hustler, The Color of Money, The Verditct, The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Nobody's Fool and The Long, Hot Summer. He gave millions of dollars to charity during his life, which is very commendable.
