I met Mr. Newman several times at MidOhio Sports Car Course and at Kenyon. Even though we only spoke "track talk", he was always polite and easy to speak with.
He was such a wonderful philanthropist and never let fame get to his head. Godspeed.

I just heard on the radio that he gave over $175 million to charities just from his salad dressing sales alone. What an incredible man. RIP Paul Newman.

 He starred in so many movies that I liked. I was thinking the other day that it had been a while since I had heard how he was doing, knowing how ill he was.

In the era of Paris, Lindsey, and other assorted "stars", he stands as an example of what a life well-lived in Hollywood looks like; Married to the same woman since forever, talented and hard-working in his craft, and one who used his celebrity to make the world a better place. I hope he rests in peace, and his family and fans can take comfort in the fact that his legacy, as noted before, will live on.

I can't believe I missed this!
RIP, Paul. You'll always be the ever-hopeful Reggie Dunlop to me.
Eta: This may be somewhat inappropriate, but I just found this on imdb.com:
"Paul Newman has stated on many occasions that he had more fun making this film [ Slap Shot] than on any other film he has starred in, and that it remains his favorite of his own films."
