“We are such spendthrifts with our lives,” Paul Newman once told a reporter. “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."

For those of us who grew up fantasizing about Paul Newman, his death has left us shaken. Though he was my father's age (nothing Freudian about this...really), he was the iconic "bad boy"....the mischief in his eyes lit fires inside. Different than Brando's laconic sensuality. Though a very unmemorable movie, the last shot in Hombre was a stunning close up of a "dying" Paul Newman in his stellar glory.
