uncool2pillow Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 One of the coolest things about Newman was his longtime marriage to Joanne Woodward. How many Hollywood couples last that long? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sweetheart-mine Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 you remind me of one of the best statements i ever heard newman make in an interview (long time ago). although known for refusing to discuss his personal life, newman did finally respond when this interviewer asked why he thought his marriage was so long-lasting. he sighed, paused, and said: "you know, it's such a throwaway society. in our house, when the toaster breaks, we fix it."

remphish1 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Not so familiar with his movies but his phlantrophy always amazed me! Also his products Newman's own Salsa and Lemonade are magnificent and I get them constantly! He gives all the proceeds to charity! Great man! RIP Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yermom Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 This has me bummed today. Paul has long been one of my favorite people ever. The man is flawless in my eyes...the philanthropy, the good nature, the humor, the talent, that incredible face. He was married to Joanne for 50(!) years and seeing them together in recent television programs was inspiring, they were so at ease with and in love with one another. The man really lived in a way most people don't realize is possible. So long, you dear man. The wisdom of Paul:"I am confounded at the stinginess of some institutions and some people. I'm bewildered by it. You can only put away so much stuff in your closet." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yermom Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I was just rewatching that scene in Luke where he does that song after his mother dies and he's tearing up. Needless to say, I was tearing up. He was such an incredible guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
