The Passing Of A Legendary Actor

Paul Newman has died at the age of 83 following a battle with cancer.

One of the first "serious" movies I ever watched was 'The Sting' starring Newman and Robert Redford. I enjoyed it enough to go out and rent 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' and 'The Young Philadelphians.'

Newman's films also had an impact on Canadians. Hockey fans in particular with the immortal 'Slap Shot.' Name me one hockey fan on the continent who didn't love that movie.

Newman also produced decent food with his 'Newman's Own' line.

Hollywood has indeed lost a true giant of cinema.
