Spokeswoman Marni Tomljanovic said Newman died yesterday.

Newman finished chemotherapy treatment for cancer in August and it was widely reported in the US that he had only weeks to live.

In June this year, a neighbour and business partner said the actor told him about the disease the previous year.

 

[lexdysia]

May he rest in peace.

Sad. What a brilliant actor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist — he'll be missed.

Awesome actor, awesome driver, awesome dude.

Also, I gotta admit, first thing I thought of when I saw this thread was, "Hey, isn't he half Jewish?"

Spoiler

Goldie Hawn's half too

God Bless Him.

So many prominent figures have died this year, it seems so much worse than any other year. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't...but terrible all the same. Newman was a legend.

 

[Diablos]

Newman's Own food products kick ass. RIP.

 

[aparisi2274]

He will be missed!!!!

It isn't.

 

[n1n9tean]

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

This makes me very sad this morning. Rest in peace, Paul.

 

[snacknuts]

God Bless Him.

I had to check to make sure you didn't Photoshop that to say "Newman Owned".

 

[thefro]

Awesome actor, awesome driver, awesome dude.

He had a helluva life for sure. A true man's man.

 

[Solaros]

His salad dressings are delicious.

It was that guy? Fuck.

I always wondered who he was.

When I worked retail I always enjoyed stocking his products because he donated the profit to charity.

 

[Raistlin]

Ah man ...

RIP

 

[Raistlin]

Sadly, I wonder if the 'All profits go to charity' will now change to a percentage (that slowly erodes)?

Hope not.

 

[Tobor]

Any GAFfer who has not seen the following:

Cool Hand Luke
The Sting
Slap Shot

Watch immediately.

 

[adg1034]

And all the beancounters at Disney are going "But who will play the Sheriff in Cars 2?"


Paul, you were the best.

*cries*

 

[starchild excalibur]

Didn't follow his career as an actor too closely, but his philanthropic efforts were to be respected.

 

[Timedog]

What the fuck is the fate of "Newman's Own" now?????

 

[Tobor]

Didn't follow his career as an actor too closely, but his philanthropic efforts were to be respected.

Cool Hand Luke. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Watch immediately.

Oh, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

 

[diunxx]

 

[chase]

Lots of legends are going to be dying in the coming years.

Later, Paul.

 

[thefro]

What the fuck is the fate of "Newman's Own" now?????

One of his daughters has been running it for quite a while... it'll be fine.

 

[Smiling Bandit]

I think his movies were before my time. Except for Cars and Road To Perdition I don't I have seen any movies of his.

 

[Wollan]

 

[n1n9tean]

Cool Hand Luke. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Watch immediately.

Oh, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

He also had a part in Road To Perdition with Tom Hanks, which was a great movie. It came out earlier this decade some time.

 

[VeritasVierge]

Heston and Newman in one year... Damn. RIP.

 

[Mobius 1]

Will live forever.

 

[starchild excalibur]

Cool Hand Luke. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Watch immediately.

Oh, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Saw parts of Cool Hand Luke and all of Sundance Kid.

[Dhx]

Long live the Hustler.

 

[Dali]

You still lose, Arnold Palmer!! Even in death Newman bests you so don't even hope to climb up the awesome ladder ahead of him.

 

[toxicgonzo]

"What we have here is a failure to communicate"

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

We lost a true Boss today. God bless.

 

[fallengorn]

RIP. Sad to see him go.

 

[grandjedi6]

I'm going to go eat some spagetti with Newman's Own sauce, in his honor.

 

[BobsRevenge]

What a great guy. RIP

 

[Guzim]

Damn

An all-around amazing guy. R.I.P.

 

[Solaros]

*shakes head*

Yea, I didn't recognize him from his own dressings.

Don't think I have seen any of his movies either, but I did like the guy just because of his dressings business model.
