#3 ..He was a class act, in public and in private. Not only that, but I always loved his comment on why he never stepped out on his wife of more than fifty years:

"I get steak at home - why should I go out for hamburger?"

#5 83! Seems like I saw him on an interview not too long ago and I had no idea he was in his 80's. He really did have those boyish looks. RIP

#6 class act - a liberal, but he put his money (all Newman's Own profits to charity - can you imagine Al Gore doing that?) where his mouth was. A happily married guy and great actor. I don't support his politics, but support the man. RIP

#7 I agree, Frank G. I don't agree with his politics but he was an honorable man. RIP, Paul.

#9 In one of William Goldman's books he talked about various Hollywood personalities he dealt with during his career as a screenwriter. Mostly negative stuff because of the types of personalities in Hollywood. The one that stood out was Paul Newman. Paul Newman walked on water as far as Goldman was concerned. Sounded like the greatest guy. Of course that's just one guys opinon but still.
