today an acting icon passed away, paul newman. usually i’m not so phased by a celebrity death that i have never met, but this one is sentimental. i love paul newman movies, from the hustler, to butch cassidy & the sundance kid, with an all time fav being cool hand luke. and i’m a pretty good fan of his ranch dressing. we will miss you paul, you are a quintessential celluloid hero for me.

below is a bit of the closing monologue to cool hand luke. though the video is too short, i think this monologue captures a great glimpse of paul.

this is a little something from the biography channel.
