Like everyone else I was saddened to hear that Hollywood legend Paul Newman, star of popular films including Cool Hand Luke, The Sting and Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, died of cancer at the age of 83.
He was nominated for an Oscar 10 times, winning a best actor trophy in 1987 for The Color Of Money. In May 2007, the actor said he was giving up acting because he could no longer perform to the best of his ability.
In an era of CGI, shallow one-movie wonders and wannabe celebs, Paul Newman was a great actor whose skills will be sadly missed. He was also a great humanitarian - his efforts included establishing summer camps for children who suffered from life-threatening illnesses and donating profits from his "Newman's Own" food range to a number of charitable organisations.
Your coolness will be missed, Mr. Newman....RIP
