NEWMAN RIP, BUT COOL HAND LUKE LIVES!

















  • A GREAT ACTOR.
  • A GREAT HUMANITARIAN.
  • AND A DECENT LEFTIE.
  • NEWMAN SUPPORTED - AMONG MANY OTHER THINGS - A WHOLE SLEW OF LEFT-WING CAUSES.
  • BUT NEVER WITH THE ASININE RANCOR OF SEAN PENN AND TIM ROBBINS AND THE LIKE.
  • DECADES AGO I TENDED BAR - AS A VOLUNTEER - AT A FUNDRAISER FOR RAMSEY CLARK (YES, REALLY - I TOLD YOU WAS A LEFTIE ONCE!.
  • NEWMAN WAS A GUEST OF HONOR.
  • AND A TRUE GENTLEMAN. UNASSUMING, GLAD TO HELP. WARM.
  • I WAS STRUCK BY HOW HE WAS SMALL IN PHYSICAL STATURE.
  • IT'S AMAZING HOW LARGE A PERSONA HE WAS ABLE TO PROJECT ON THE SCREEN.
  • THAT'S TALENT.
  • A TALENT WHICH IS VERY SHORT SUPPLY IN HOLLYWOOD.

PAUL NEWMAN: RIP, BABY!

  1. Again we agree.

    Paul used his celebrity status to create a huge food corporation that has generated over $250 million for charity.

    Not exactly the typical "Leftie" way of doing things, but not exactly the "Rightie" way either.

    He was a model citizen.
