We've lost a legend...
Paul Leonard NewmanJanuary 26, 1925 - September 26, 2008
~ ~ ~
"Funny, upright, smart, brave, moral, talented, faithful, honest, manly, wise, humble: he's simply good people. A mensch, in fact and deed.
...my work seems very unimportant right now, and so, it seems to me, is a repetition of the man's amazing accomplishments on screen, on the race track, in the fields of food sales and philanthropy and as a family man, public citizen and friend. What matters is that a good -- and maybe a great -- man is passing from among us, and our world will be just that much smaller when he has gone.
So just this, then: Godspeed."
Shawn Levy - Film Critic, Author, Biographer - June 10, 2008

I knew it was inevitable when I heard the diagnosis, but, still, it was a shock to read first thing this morning when I opened the news reader.
I hadn't heard that yet. How very sad.
take care,

i swear i am the last to know everything...he was such a great man...i loved him in a message in a bottle, even though he was not the lead i feel that he was a great actor and that was a great roll.
He was beautiful! I am sad too!
I know, I just had to have a good cry about this. God blessed us with a very special gift for 83 years.
