RIP Paul Newman: 1925-2008

by Bill Flanigen at 3:15 PM 9/27/08 


Yesterday, Paul Newman--of acting and charity fame--died of lung cancer at his home in Westport, Connecticut.

Even if you weren't a fan of his acting work (you probably were, at least somewhat) or his politics, you have to marvel at a man that generated more than $200 million for charity by using his face to sell salad dressing and salsa.

He and his work (on- and off-screen) will be sorely missed.

The Patriot accepts anonymous comments [unlike the draconian editors at the Hatchet]. However, we strongly prefer that you USE A NAME. Mostly it's because we don't take anonymous comments seriously, but it's also because we hate bullshit. Have a nice day.
