RIP Paul Newman

Paul Newman died Friday at age 83 at his long-time home in Westport, Connecticut. He was always one of my favorite actors. I loved almost every single one of his movies, but I think Cool Hand Luke will be the role that defines him for me. That came out just as I was old enough to have teenage crushes on movie stars and would dream that someday we would meet and fall in love.

Truthfully I haven't thought much about him in years, but I'm going to miss him all the same. He was areally handsome man and an accomplished actor. A good liberal with a great big heart. The world is a poorer place for his absence.
