It is a blessing, though, when it comes down to it. Cancer is a truly hurrendous way to go. |

Paul Newman
Just come across this, very sad.
A great man who did great things in racing and acting: LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Legendary film star Paul Newman, whose brilliant blue eyes, good looks and talent made him one of Hollywood's top actors over six decades has died after a long battle with cancer, a spokesman said on Saturday. (Advertisement) He was 83, and he died on Friday night, said his Los Angeles-based spokesman Jeff Sanderson. Newman appeared in some 60 movies, including "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "The Hustler," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," and "The Sting." He earned nine Oscar nominations for acting and won the best actor honour for 1986's "The Colour of Money." Famed for his philanthropy as well as his acting, Newman was married to Oscar-winning actress Joanne Woodward for more than 50 years, and had successful side careers as an auto racing driver and creator of a line of food products, Newman's Own, that bore his name and face on their labels. The "Newman's Own Foundation," took profits from that company and sponsored numerous charitable organizations. Newman also founded his "Hole in the Wall" Camps, which provided fun summer breaks for children around the world suffering from life-threatening illnesses. "Paul's Newman's craft was acting. His passion was racing. His love was his family and friends. And his heart and soul were dedicated to helping make the world a better place for all," Robert Forrester, vice-chairman of the Newman's Own Foundation, said in a statement |

I have already started a thread in the tributes forum, which I believe is the correct place for a thread of this nature...so if anybody would prefer to post there then great. A very sad day though.

Quote:
I had the opportunity to talk to him a few times at my home track so here's a favorite memory: We were standing by the equipment shed inside the fence that separates the "hot" track area from the "cold" paddock. Newman's paddock space was surrounded with about 200 people trying to catch a glimpse of him. As I told another marshal, "I don't ever want to be that famous." someone on a scooter came up and motioned us to open the gate while showing us his "hot" wristband. It was Paul, in sunglasses and a non-sponsored baseball cap. We let him in and he asked if he could stage his Trans-Am race car there instead of on our false grid where the crowd could still come up to the car. Looking at the other marshal, I said, "I repeat: I don't ever want to be that famous." Paul laughed and said, "It wasn't exactly what I set out to do." Of course we agreed to stage his car there and it did a fine job of keeping the crowd at bay. Thanks for all the good memories Paul. You will be missed. |

Paul Newman
I was fortunate to meet Paul Newman several times at the racetrack in the 1970's. I was helping out another competitor competing against Paul. I think they swapped championships a couple years in row. As long as you didn't talk about acting or asked for an autograph he was the nicest guy you'd want to meet. Our crews even met one evening for a night out at the Seneca lodge near Watkins Glen. Paul always liked a Budweiser.
He is known mostly for his acting but I have always thought of him as a race driver of the highest caliber and an extremely charitable person. God rest his soul |
