Today would have been Paul's 84th birthday. Lots of love from the Screen Actor's Guild Awards last night, with James Earl Jones using the final moments of his speech for his Life Achievement Award to salute Paul with a twist on the PLN's early role in Somebody Up There Likes Me: "Paul Newman, somebody down here likes you." (Bit of trivia, Paul and Joanne were honored with the same award in 1985 and while Jones and Newman never acted together on screen, [still researching stage roles...] they did both appear in a documentary to Martin Luther King in 1970.)
Paul also was the final celebrity in the yearly "In Memorium" segment, with brief clips of him in Cool Hand Luke and Road to Perdition, among others.
