Farewell, Doc Hudson
Filed under: Life & Style, In The News, That's Entertainment
My kids have never seen Cool Hand Luke, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, or even The Sting, the fun story of a big con that is my favorite of Paul Newman's movies. They do know and love, however, his Newman's most recent role -- the gruff-but-lovable mayor of Radiator Springs, Doc Hudson, from the Pixar film Cars. Sadly, Doc Hudson has gone on to that great dirt track in the sky. Paul Newman, known to so many for good looks, gorgeous eyes, and fine acting, passed away last Friday at the age of eighty-three.
Aside from his acting, Newman was also known for his gourmet-for-the-rest-of-us foods (I especially like his salad dressings and marinades). What we probably didn't think too much about when we're picking up a package of Fig Newmans or Newman-O's is that the profits from the Newman's Own line of foods goes to charity, including one of Paul Newman's favorites, the Hole in the Wall camps. These camps provide a joyous experience for and build self-esteem in children who suffer from serious illnesses. The organization was started by Newman and the organization calls him "heart and soul of Hole in the Wall Camps."
Whether you are a fan of his acting, enjoy his natural and organic foods, or admire his generosity and compassion for others, he will surely be missed.

LS said...My favorite is his Salsa, and I go out of my way to buy it and his salad dressings (did you know the back of each salad dressing has it's "story"? They're hilarious)
Paul Newman was a stand-up guy and old fashioned gentleman. He will be missed.

Joy said...I don't usually feel this way about "Hollywood" but I feel like I knew this man. That's how great I think he was. Telling Playboy in an interview about cheating: "why would I go our for a hamburger when I have a steak at home?" He was a wonderful person and will be sadly missed.

Jetstream said...So far from typical Hollywood. Besides acting, he personified the reality of true humanity. Doc Hudson was my virtual hero. (I'm 67)
"There are some things I forgot that you'll never know." Doc was willing to teach them.
The ending from one of his films.
"That Luke, he was some boy."
RIP, Paul Newman - Roll On, Doc Hudson

I USE HIS SALAD DRESSING AND I THINK THAT IT IS THE BEST; THE MONEY GOES TO A GOOD CAUSE ALSO. THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD THINGS THAT CAN BE SAID FOR PAUL NEWMAN.
