Paul Newman died yesterday. The first thing I thought about was that I have used many a line from Newman's movies in my daily lexicon.
"Everyone is blind Sundance, and Im wearing bifocals"- Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
"Four Jacks Pal"- The Sting
"No man can eat 50 eggs"- Cool Hand Luke
"You don't leave much when you miss fat man"- The Hustler
Newman was the embodiment of cool. He IS the original Marlboro Man. Those blue eyes could melt molten steel and his presence on screen was undeniable.
In addition to being super pimp tight...he devoted much of his life to charity. All the proceeds from his "Newman's Own" salad dressings go directly to children related charities. After I found out this morning and relayed it to Bonnie, she wanted to know if his dressings would still be made...I certainly hope so. (The Creamy Caesar rocks!!)
Well, I know I can always look forward to seeing his great performances on TV regularly, but knowing that he will never make another movie deeply saddens me. There will never be another Paul Newman.

So sad. He was the hottest actor ever. Even when he was old he was still very cool. I will not be able to deal with it if Redford goes any time soon. Cross your fingers for the salad dressing!! I don't need anything else to have to make homemade!
