Paul Newman RIP

[wytchcroft]

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.

i see all. you're lucky - i used to get political mailings from Newman/Woodward about every two weeks! though maybe that's my fault for making my address available to liberal political campaigns... at least it wasn't the conservatives. :)
