Well, the name sounds familiar, but I don't know from where.

Still, at least this time I know at least a little something about a death reported here..

This is another great loss for the world.

Maybe these will help you remember.

Honestly, I knew who he was and would recognize him in the old movies, but since he wasn't part of my generation and didn't hang with the hollywood crowd I really didn't see him on my radar screen. However, after reading a little, I think his work with the children's camp was his greatest achievement.

What I find funny is where I read that he would often go there and sit with the kids to eat never mentioning who he was. They just thought he was a worker or something and he never would tell them...just smiled as if he liked not being recognized. He was a great guy from what I see.

He was a great actor and a great philanthropist. I had lots of respect for Paul Newman, and I'll miss him. May he rest in peace.

That is most unfortunate. Made a damn fine salad dressing, too.
