Paul Newman, 1925 - 2008



The shot's from HARPER (1966). That's the one-sheet to the right. It's my favorite Newman film, and it pointed me to one of my favorite writers, Ross MacDonald.

Paul Newman was, and still is, a yardstick we could all use to measure cool. And he made it cool to care about other people, which we should all be grateful to him for.

We're losing these guys at a pretty distressing clip. What are we gonna do when all the cool guys are gone?
