Remembering Paul Newman
Posted by editor on Sep 29, 2008
Let us take a moment to remember Paul Newman (1925-2008), one of the older generation’s certified major star. Just this week, he died at home due to complications arising from cancer. He was one of the most respected and admired celebrity, appearing in films like Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid,with Robert Redford, Cool Hand Luke & most recently, the 2002 film Road To Perdition with Tom Hanks. For all the kids out there, he was the voice of Doc Hudson from the Disney-Pixar movie Cars.
He and actress Joanne Woodward, is hailed as one of the most stellar examples of marriage, having achieved 50 years together, in a world where marriage is often transitory and fleeting. He was also a genuine philanthropist, founding Newman’s Own, a line of food products that donates all proceeds of the sale to charity. He will be sadly missed.
