Goodbye to the Great Paul Newman

This is one of the saddest news in Hollywood. Actor Paul Newman died on September 26 at age 83, after a bout with cancer. He is best known for his unforgettable blue eyes and extreme talent as proven by classic films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Color of Money. I personally have seen how magnetic he is onscreen even with later films like Message in a Bottle and The Road to Perdition. Even his voice as Doc Hudson gave that old race car quite an impressionable character if I may say so.

Some people may not know it, but Paul Newman was not only an actor. He was a director, race car driver, writer and philanthropist. What Impresses me about him most of all though, is how he has been married to his wife Joanne Woodward for the past 50 years, in an industry that's marked by infidelity and controversy. He is proof that there are still good men who take the road less travelled.

You'll definitely be missed Mr. Newman. Godspeed. Read more here. Photos by timeinc.net, simonsays.com and bbc.co.uk.
