Mr. Newman was the epitome of class in every sense of the word. True humanitarian, devoted husband, humble and of course it goes without saying an incredible actor. He will be sorely missed. My sympathy goes out to his beloved wife Joanne and all of his family and friends. Your adoring public will miss you Mr. Newman. God Bless Dawn

First classed actor and person. I loved his work on screen and in real life. The world is a darker place with his departure from it.

From Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the best line, "We''ll just have to jump. I can''t swim. You dam fool, the fall will probably kill ya". still makes me laugh.

Such a great talent thru all the years and humanitarian.

They don''t come any better than Mr. Newman. He was an all round man any way you look at him..

God bless him and his family in this very sad time.

Well, he live a good life and brought so much pleasure to those who knew him and those who didn''t. I will be looking for his merchandise in the grocery store and make a point of trying them out. If I like them, I will stick with those products. I''d rather the profits go towards the goodwill of those in need than in the pockets of the greedy! What a sad time it must be for those that knew and loved him.

I still remember when Tom Hanks won the Oscar over Paul Newman''s NOBODY''S FOOL nomination. At a later press conference Tom Hanks said something to the effect "I beat Paul Newman, come on!" Ton Hanks'' tone told you that Newman''s performance was unbeatable. A high compliment from a talent as great as Tom Hanks.

Definitely "Newman''s Own" - his own man. A rare talent and a true gentleman.

Paul Newman was a first-class man and actor. I admired him on- and off-screen. As a tribute to his memory, I ENCOURAGE ALL READERS HERE to honor him by purchasing a Newman''s Own product today/this week. From salad dressings to salsa to organic cookies, they are all terrific - if you love Oreo''s, reach for the Newman O''s next time; you won''t be sorry.
