WESTPORT, Conn. - Paul Newman, the Academy-Award winning superstar who personified cool as the anti-hero of such films as "Hud," "Cool Hand Luke" and "The Color of Money" — and as an activist, race car driver and popcorn impresario — has died. He was 83.

R.I.P Paul.

It's a shame that he passed away. I thought he would be around for Cars 2 but that means that Pixar might have to write out the character because of Newman's passing.

I want to give my condolescences to the Newman family.

Truly, the passing of a man I highly respect because he really did make a difference to many people through his charitable work (US$220 million donated through the profits of the Newman's Own company since 1982).

A often under-appreciated actor and philatropist--he will be seriously missed. :(

And so another legend Passes. He was really a great actor and will be missed. Plus he has good sald dressing. RIP Paul

[Spideyzilla]

RIP. My thoughts are with the family.

[Old Guy]

It's not a shocker. We've known for a while that he has been ill. It sucks nonetheless. RIP, Mr. Newman.

Another Hollywood legend leaves us. :(

I haven't seen him in as many movies as I probably should have, but I loved The Sting.

I haven't seen him in as many movies as I probably should have, but I loved The Sting.

His `60s work was the best. Hud, The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, etc.

Rest in Peace, Paul Newman. It's a shame that he passed on. I my thoughts are for him and his family at this emotionally hard time.

[Kenny E. McCall]

And man, he had been married to Joanne Woodward for fifty years. What a record for a long and successful marriage. Plus, he was one of the real icons of the cinema too!

Goodbye, Butch Cassidy. We'll miss you.:crying: :( :sad:

[PeppeRaskell1]

I saw him in at least two movies when I was younger: Fort Apache, The Bronx, and his cameo in Mel Brooks' Silent Movie. (Wish I'd seen him in The Sting!)

And I heard somewhere that he was quite a car racing enthusiast, as was the late Steve McQueen.

Somewhere in Heaven tonight, Doc Hudson is rubbing elbows with Lightning McQueen's namesake.

Not shocking, but a painful loss nonetheless. RIP.

I heard the news this morning. It's a shame he passed away since he was both a great actor and a great man. RIP Paul Newman.

:crying: Truly a legend, he will definitly be missed. I raise my Thousand Island salad dressing to you Mr. Newman, may you rest in peace.

[Old Guy]

his cameo in Mel Brooks' Silent Movie.

That scene was hilarious with the wheel chair race. lol.

[Hanshotfirst113]

God, what a loss. A true class act, a wonderful American actor, and Hollywood icon. I couldn't eulogize him as effectively as I should, but let me say that he will indeed be missed and has left us a brilliant legacy that'll live forever. I've definately got to rent a few more of his films now. Rest in peace. You'll sure be missed. I bet Robert Redford's pretty broken up.

His `60s work was the best. Hud, The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, etc.

My own Personal favorite Newman movie is HOMBRE.
It was the first time I saw him in a film. He played a loner half-breed who must put aside his feelings to help his fellow stagecoach riders.

I also like his Spaghetti Mushroom Sauce. GOOD STUFF!!!

Cool Hand Luke:sad:
