A tragic year.

Why are great people like this dying while people, who only the simple minded class as "Celebrities", live in perfect health? I won't state which "Celebrity" I dislike since I would hate to spread slander.

George Carlin, Bernie Mac, now Paul Newman. 2008 has been a tragic year.

Oh come on, I come to get my Friend Code and now this?

May he rest in peace.

I was pretty shocked when I heard this... My first exposure to Paul Newman was when we watched The Sting in theater class my freshman year (it was our school's fall play for that year), and then I loved him as Doc Hudson in Cars... He was a true icon of American film, and he'll be missed.

How can you forget Heath? I'm pretty sure that was last January... or was it before?

Paul Newman was a hustler, a humanitarian, a class act and a hero. He'll be missed by me and millions of other people around the globe.

Rest in peace.

That's really all I can write. I'm still shocked by his death.

I had been hearing rumors that he wasn't doing too well health-wise but this is still a major shock.

Farewell, Mr. Newman. You'll be sorely missed.

Actually, Newman asked his health not be discussed much in the media. Which is another example of how much of a class act he was.

I read this morning most of his estate is going to his charities. That is simply amazing. He'll be helping people, even in death.
