Sad day

The more I think about it, this man could possibly be my favorite actor of all time.  I had just decided last night to try to catch some more of his movies, and today I hear the sad news that we lost him last night after a long battle with cancer.  When certain actors pass away, it really feels like you've lost a friend.  It also seems to be when the human presence they had in real life outweighed the stage presence.  Paul Newman seemed to be a no-nonsense, giving, talented and private person who loved his family.  He used his celebrity in all of the right ways.  He will be very missed.
