Paul Newman Dies at 83

Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward + unidentified family pet, 1958

Paul Newman, great actor, humanitarian, and animal lover, passed away yesterday after long battle with cancer.

He showed the world that a man could be cool and good. Talented and kind. Famous and private. Hearts are heavy that you're gone.

P.S.

Fellow blogger  and LA photographer Sabrina Helas left this note in the comments section.  I had to share:

"so sad! one of legends! a quote of
his that I really liked was “The trick of living is to slip on and off
the planet with the least fuss you can muster. I’m not running for
sainthood. I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little
like the farmer, who puts back into the soil what he takes out.”
and i think he managed to do that!"

I think he did too Sabrina.
