Entry for September 29, 2008

The tributes keep pouring in... it is refreshing and wonderful to read what people thought of PLN. It seems that he was respected and admired by everyone.



Roger Ebert put up this tribute on his blog today. (With that great George Kennedy quote from Cool Hand Luke as it's title. Who wouldn't want that as their epitaph?)



And the LA Times posted the official obituary.



And because we all need to know what celebrities are feeling here's a list of the celebrity tributes pouring in, in remembrance of Paul.

Paul L. Newman 1925 - 2008

A sad morning over here, as the news starts posting word of Paul's passing yesterday. I hope he is at peace now and I hope he truly knew how much the world loved him. I know my life is better because of him—because of his self-lessness, his philanthropy and for his love. He was a true hero. His movies became just the tip of the iceberg in his career. His racing showed he was a man who could acknowledge a true passion and follow it to the core of his soul. A silly little idea to make salad dressing with a friend became a way to enrich the lives of thousands of sick children and their friends. His life was grace and dignity and a role model for anyone. I am I proud to call myself one of his biggest fans.



Thank you Paul, just for being you. You will be missed.
