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.

I felt quite sad whenI heard of his passing, I very much enjoy older movies and he's in a few in my list. It's also a shame he died of cancer but at least he managed to make a fairly good age first. Bless him.
