Media critc Tom Maurstad writes: First comes the list of movies: Cool Hand Luke, The Color of Money, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Hud, The Sting. On and on, the scenes and lines come, a life of movies, any one of which could be considered the work of a lifetime. Paul Newman was lucky enough to become a movie star before the age of celebrity had set in so he existed in a realm beyond all the tabloid frenzy and media saturation that have become the unavoidable, irreducible backdrop of today's generation of movie stars. |

Nice tribute, Tom. I think Paul Newman was special to so many people not just because of his genuine acting talent or his gorgeous looks, but because he truly cared about people and put much of his time and effort -- not to mention his personal resources -- into improving the lives of others. He used his stardom to make children happier, healthier and better educated. Who among us would not like to leave the world a legacy like that?

Tom is correct:
The intelligence and gifted acting skills were paired in a unique fashion in Paul Newman. Knowing how much he improved our world gives him a greater lasting fame than the actors of today.
Well done, Paul Newman.

My favorite line from my favorite movie of all time, now or from years past: "I've got vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals". His vision and what he left us will always be remembered as one of the greatest not only greatest actors but greatest people to inhabit our earth. He will be truly missed!
