Paul Newman died last night.
Nice line by Pauline Kael quoted in the NYT's obit:
... you don’t believe it when he plays someone perverse or vicious, and the older he gets and the better you know him, the less you believe it. His likableness is infectious; nobody should ever be asked not to like Paul Newman.
And from the man himself, words to live by:
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.

I'm sorry to hear. Paul was one of those people whose presence in the background is taken for granted. He didn't need to be in the spotlight, he was always there...present. I guess in a sense he will always be.
