Paul Newman

Paul Newman has died. Greencine has a roundup of reactions.

Far be it from me to link this to the politics of the day - but how can I not? With Wall Street in the tank, looking for some jerk they can really push around - well.... here's Charles Durning's great exit, and Newman's even greater entrance in The Hudsucker Proxy. Sure sure - he may have had better roles (did it matter though? every time I saw him, he, at least was thrilling), but give a great actor with a great voice Coen brothers lines to say - ah, yes. Long live the Hud.
