September 27, 200817 yr Member How ironic. I just watched "Torn Curtain" on Turner Classic Movies last night too. Rest in piece Paul. By the way Roman, you totally forgot his brilliant performance opposite Elizabeth Taylor in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."

September 29, 200817 yr Member Rest in Peace Paul Newman. He was a wonderful actor and a wonderful human being.
September 29, 200817 yr Member Just don't ever ask him about Towering Inferno a film he was deeply (overly) embarassed to have made (partly because aroudn the same time he finally gave into pressure and dropped his pursuit of filming the popular gay themed novel The Front Runner And Sweet Bird of Youth although they censored it from the play almsot as much as Cat it's great to have him repeating his stage performance on screen... Oh and Hud. Long Hot Summer. etc etc RIP Edited September 29, 200817 yr by EricMontreal22
September 29, 200817 yr Member Hud and Cat were my favorites. Honestly, this man must have been the most beautiful being on earth in the 60s. That's probably why he seemed almost immortal and why I am so shocked at his passing. RIP. p.s.: I love Towering Inferno even if he never did.

Although, he was not the star, I thought he was very good in Road to Predition. I know some did not like it because he "seemed old." The character was old, Paul Newman was old and he played it the way it should have been played. I thought he gave a very nuanced performance.
