Paul Newman RIP

Paul Newman has left the movie house for good. Tributes will follow.




Of course his career was long and consistently interesting - working with many of Hollywood's best directors and starring in a plethora of hit motion pictures.

With his wife Joanne Woodward he also was able to kick feature film acting into the modern era - and without fuss or undue hyperbole.

My particular favourite performances and pictures that Newman starred in are:
Cool Hand Luke, The Hustler, Harper and The Drowning Pool.

two clips - a bio and a clip from Harper.

Oh, no. Such a shame. :(

yep. it's great his career lasted so long -
and he seemed a pretty modest kind of guy,
but, yeah, damn shame.
