What I remember

Other folks better than I are writing about Paul Newman's films, and why I like an awful lot of them, that's not what I remember about him.

Normal.

That's what I remember - while he was enormously talented, he was a normal, normal guy. Married to the same woman for 50 years. Giving her the credit:

"Why go out for hamburger when you have a steak at home?"

Maybe most people wouldn't act like that given the same circumstances, but Hollywood is about dreams, isn't it? I'll keep this one, thank you very much.

He was a good man, and we could use a bunch more like him. Requiescat in pace.
