Paul Newman in pictures
My brother once told me, "When Paul Newman dies, it's going to be a big deal. He's one of those people that matter." He was right.
Before I go put my well-worn copy of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" into the DVD player, I've put together a collection of some of my favorite pictures and clips from the life and film career of the always charming Paul Newman.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Cool Hand Luke
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
The Hustler
The Sting
Cars
Sundance Channel's "Iconoclasts" featuring Robert Redford

These are a couple of very well done posts Heather. This was a great man, someone we should all strive to be like.
Butch and Sundance is one of the greatest movies of all time. Like you and a lot of people, I'll be watching that movie for the 20th or so time today and still be rooting for Butch and Sundance to blast their way out...

Oh, this makes me sad. He was a beautiful man.

Thanks for the intro many moons ago to a truly great performance. I still remember the first time I saw Butch and Sundance.
He was a great man and truly will be missed.

Thank you for this post. He was a favorite for me as well. HUD is one of the few films I can watch over and over without moving from my couch.
