Not a retired MMORPG.com mod

He will be missed. He was a great actor and humanitarian. My favorite film of his is Slap Shot. If you have not seen it then you need to check it out.

Paul Newman Donates Company To Charity
Jun 10th, 2008 by newscoma.
I like it when people do what they say they are going to do.

Movie star Paul Newman has quietly turned over the entire value of his ownership in Newman’s Own — the company that makes salad dressing and cookies — to charity.

Completed over a two-year period in 2005 and 2006, the amount of his donations to Newman’s Own Foundation Inc. comes to an astounding $120 million.

This is unprecedented for any movie star or anyone from what we call Hollywood. Of course Newman and actress wife Joanne Woodward have never been Hollywood types. They’ve lived their lives quietly in Westport, Conn., for the last 50 years. (They were married in January 1958. And people said it wouldn’t last!)

Good job, Mr. Newman. Good job.

Sad to say but it's true. However he did live a long, productive and memorable life. It was a good life and one well spent. No one can ask for better than that.

A great man has left us. He lived the life he wanted to live, and how many of us can say that?

RIP Mr. Newman. You will be missed.

"If you warn me about global warming once more, you''ll get a swift carbon footprint in the ass!"

A few weeks ago I posted a thread announcing that he was close to death, so it doesn't come as a surprise, and yet, I was no less shocked when I heard the news today.

I pay tribute to Paul for all the great movies he made.
