It’s probably not a huge shock given the recent reports about his illness but it was announced this morning that actor, businessman and philanthropist Paul Newman has died at the age of 83. In addition to a very long acting career, he also enjoyed a 50-year marriage to actress Joanne Woodward.

Please feel free to offer your thoughts on his career. I seldom agreed with his politics but always loved his performances.

A class act if there ever was one, personally and professionally. Thank-you Paul.

God bless you, Paul. Thanks for everything and may you rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family.

A great looker and by all account, a very decent man. May his soul race on and on.

There's never been anyone else like him. He lived life to its fullest- all the way up until the end, committed himself to everything he did,
and always remembered to give back. Plus, who in Hollywood stays married for 50+ years? I admired him greatly.

My parents and younger brother had the opportunity to meet Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward many years ago in Connecticut. These were just some people he'd never met and would probably never meet again. Just regular folks he could've fobbed off with a curt, perfunctory greeting. Far from it. My family said they were both polite and charming. No airs whatsoever. And, by the way, yes - the most incredible blue eyes you'd ever seen.
