Paul Newman was not only an incredible actor, he was a real human being. Hollywood talks about him:
“There is a point where feelings go beyond words. I have lost a real friend. My life - and this country - is better for his being in it.” — Robert Redford
“He was my hero.” – Julia Roberts
“He set the bar too high for the rest of us… Not just actors, but all of us. He will be greatly missed.” – George Clooney
“It’s a great loss, in so many ways. The history of movies without Paul Newman? It’s unthinkable. His presence, his beauty, his physical eloquence, the emotional complexity he could conjure up and transmit through his acting in so many movies – where would we be without him? In ‘From the Terrace’ or ‘The Hustler’ or ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ or ‘The Verdict’ or ‘Nobody’s Fool,’ to name just a few pictures that come to mind, he’s more than just iconic. In those movies and in many, many others, he created characters that are lasting and durable. His powerful eloquence, his consummate sense of craft, so consummate that you didn’t see any sense of effort up there on the screen, set a new standard. My own experience working with him on ‘The Color of Money’ was a joy, and my memories of our time together are precious. But in addition to being a great actor, one of the greatest really, he was also such a fine, caring man. I will miss him greatly.” — Martin Scorsese
“Paul Newman was a class act; smart, sexy, generous and kind. He was committed equally to justice and pranks. He was something you don’t hear mentioned often these days; a good man. He taught me to appreciate the home grown tomato, championship badminton and chamber music. He will be missed.” — Susan Sarandon
“Paul was a very fine actor and a really good race driver. But mostly, he personified humanity - always taking care of those who were less fortunate. For me, this will be his legacy.” — David Letterman
