Paul Newman at 83...83! Where did all of the years go?
He is still full of vim and vigor, he is still Cool Hand Luke to me, and of course my Butch Cassidy!

Hi There,
Just look at that face under that hat! It's good to see a face like that during these crabby old times of can't have, can't pump, slump, grump.
In regard to Paul---
As we all get older, it's nice to connect with days gone by. I'd love it if someone would ask Paul if he remembers his parents' long ago good friends Sandy and Bill Johnson.
Their son Mark said Paul used to be at his house nearly every day to play.
Mark was telling me this today as I was touting the good works of The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. We particularly enjoyed seeing your pictures with Paul walking tall, and you, the face under that hat beside him!!
Happily,
Andrea and the Weims

I heard the news of his cancer diagnosis and have been thinking of him. He's a fighter. I'm sure he will do very well. I have always been a fan....

Paul Newman is a real class act; wouldn't it be wonderful if more celebrities followed his lead. . .wishing him all the best.

"Ditto," Martha! ... As well as (may I add), a "National Treasure" and a GREAT Humanitarian! May God continue to and forever bless you, Mr. Newman (as you have blessed countless others ... many times, without great fanfare ... via your many worthy philanthropic endeavors and untiring efforts)!
THOSE (and many others which you are known for) are traits of a "REAL LIFE" Hero! "Onward!"

Paul Newman is awesome, my prayers go out to him and JoAnn. Paul you are the best! Your movies have ALL been great. Thank you!

My one completely true love..... an indescribably incredible person who has made a difference world-wide. I smile every time I think of him! AND he's gorgeous!

Wonderful personality, handsome and the charitable side of him is simply the best. I saw Cool Hand Luke for the umpteenth time not too long ago and I still love that movie! Paul Newman is in a class all by himself; the greatest! Trish

I hope Paul Newman is indeed doing well ,,, it saddens me that he may be ill... He is incredibly generous and most talented.

Absolutely!
Makes My Heart Go Pitter Patter Too!
God Bless You Sweet Man!

When I was a little girl, I was ((in love)) with Butch Cassidy ((and)) the Sundance Kid!!! My heart still goes pitter patter just thinking about them. Must be why I keep looking for an older boyfriend! :o)

Paul is so wonderful. Joanne is a lucky woman. My daughter's favorite movie is Cool Hand Luke. Me I'd watch him in anything.

He seems like such a beautiful, gentle soul. And really easy on the eyes, too! He has given so much, so much should be given to him, too! One of a kind.

Oh how I love Paul Newman!

I love you Martha. And you too, Paul. You both have given so much to the world. People like you are so inspiring. Just thinking of you makes my day a liitle more special because you are in it. I can enjoy salad dressing without worrying about my allergies. Martha thinks of everyone. Your world is so big because you include everybody.

Hi Martha, I love you and Paul Newman, mostly because both of you are wonderful, generous and thoughtful human beings. My greatest hope is that the news media would be more considerate of people like you two who are trying to live normal, productive lives. If you want others to know something about you, YOU should be the one to tell us, not the news media. Thanks for all you do. Jan

To all those aspiring actors and actresses, when you take your first baby steps into the acting world leave behind the egos. Be a class act and learn from Newman!
Posted by: pinksoles | June 14, 2008 at 08:54 AM
Martha,
Paul Newman is one of the great actors of all time. His film work is second to none! He will always be the "ole blue eyes" to me and those films with Robert Redford...CLASSICS!
His generosity for his charities is overwheming. We love Newman's Own Products for that reason.
You are in our thoughts and prayers Mr. Newman.
Thanks for being a generous and classy friend, Martha!

WOW! i am reminded of the country song DON'T BLINK he still looks great as long as I am here - I would like to say... A Brillant ticket for this Country would have been Hillary & Martha!

Paul and Joanne are wonderful human beings! Though I love their talent as actors, I respect the fact that they are wonderful kind generous human beings even more. Paul, get well soon because you have much more to give the world.
Also Martha, keep up your good works and continue to inspire!

Cool Hand Luke invented "Cool"
The movie was so good I named my
cat after "Lucille" the gal one sees washing her car in the roadside scene.

How could we not be a fan of a man with so much class! I've always admired him for his philanthropy and his earthiness - and of course, his acting. He's one-of-a-kind and I wish him and his family all of the best.
