Wow. Bad news. I know he was a lefty, but he wasn't a loud or mean lefty.
Newman was a great actor and I have enjoyed his movies for decades.
May he rest in peace.

Liberals like that, I don’t mind. He put his money where his mouth was, quietly, which is more than we can say about a lot of people, liberal or conservative.
He was married for forty years, which is more than we can say about a lot of people, liberal or conservative.
If the rest of the left was like him, we’d be in great shape.

” He also made MANY stinkers and was vastly overrated as an actor. A hardcore liberal his whole life and loved by Hollywood.”

Tell us what you really think.

[Renata Maree]

A truly great actor. God comfort his family.

[Tennessee Nana]

Will miss him...

[rodeo-mamma]

You have also got to admire the way he stayed married to the same woman. He was a good role model. He seemed like a devoted husband. That says something about a man’s character.

What garnered Newman a huge amount of respect was that he wanted to make a difference--and he did it through the Newman's Own food company, who donates 100% of its profits to charity (US$220 million donated as of this month since the company was founded in 1982). I think a lot of the Hollywood Left today are kicking themselves for not doing this idea earlier.

A great, often under-appreciated actor who really did make a difference in the lives of many people for the right reasons--he will be sorely missed.

First thing I thought of too!

Best role? "The Verdict." Simply an outstanding movie.

Hated the guy's politics, but gotta give credit where credit is due ...

[MaineConservative]

As much as I respected the man with his "HOLE IN THE WALL CAMP", and meeting them a few times (At Lime Rock Raceway, at Shady Glen (a restaurant he and JoAnne loved to visit) and meeting him at his 'Hole In The Wall' camp), and his movies, I won't say anything bad about his politics.

HollyWeird lost another great actor, and the racing world lost a great racer/owner. Prayers goes out to his family.

Try his Ginger cream sandwich cookies,MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[MaineConservative]

He and I met at LimeRock Raceway and he was truly an ACTOR. He was a great DRIVER, and Newman/Haas/Langigan Racing will miss its leader. (I have to see what Jayski’s Page have to say about this racing legend!)

Paul Newman was a star in Hollywood when it was cool.

[Bishop_Malachi]

Prayers for the repose of his soul. RIP.

[CORedneck]

One of my favorite movies - Cool Hand Luke !

[MaineConservative]

I was the karaoke/dj at one of the parties of his Kid’s Camp.

Was it the Ashford camp? I was a councilor for a year there!!

[Kid Shelleen]

Classic scene from The Cincinnati Kid (Last Hand)

[headstamp 2]

Looks like he was married 50 years this year too.

RIP “Luke”.

[MaineConservative]

Newman was a dyed-in-the-wool left wing liberal,

GreenAccord, he was, but he was very Down to Earth. Politically I didn’t like him, but meeting him (I worked at his camp for a year) he was not the ‘ACTORS’ of today, but a humble man.

[HungarianGypsy]

My kids think of Cars and spaghetti sauce when they think of Paul Newman.

those pictures were taken 6 miles from here.

RIP Mr.Newman. Prayers up.
