Paul Newman dies at 83!
Dan:
Paul Newman, the Oscar-winning superstar who personified cool as the anti-hero of such films as "Hud," "Cool Hand Luke" and "The Color of Money" — followed by a second act as an activist, race car driver and popcorn impresario — has died. He was 83.
Newman died Friday at his farmhouse near Westport following a long battle with cancer, publicist Jeff Sanderson said. He was surrounded by his family and close friends.
In May, Newman dropped plans to direct a fall production of "Of Mice and Men" at Connecticut's Westport Country Playhouse, citing unspecified health issues. The following month, a friend disclosed that he was being treated for cancer and Martha Stewart, also a friend, posted photos on her Web site of Newman looking gaunt at a charity luncheon.
In August, he finished chemotherapy and told his family he wanted to die at home. He was given only weeks to live.

He was Jewish. I wonder what Chaim thought of him..someone please ask on A.JTF..

He was fairly liberal on most issue but he was not one of those in your face type liberal wackos, as far as I know. He was an actor who stayed married to the same woman for fifty years, that's a miracle.
Also, in my opinion anyway, the best movie of all time, Cool Hand Luke.

Oops. I forgot to buy salad dressing at the supermarket today. Does anyone know if the Newman dressings are Kosher? I like the containers with his face at the stores, but never bought any of them.
