So Long, Blue Eyes
Paul Newman, The King of Cool, died on Friday of cancer. The actor, race car driver and philanthropist was 83. Since then, the entire world has been mourning the passing of the bluest eyes in the world, from France - Sarkozy has said his country will remember his presence at the Le Mans races-. To Iran and Germany, with many foreign countries’ newspapers dedicating headlines and front pages to the actor.
Newman, whose ideology was that fame was wasted if not used for something good, helped raise over $250 million for charities worldwide through the sales of his Newman’s Own food products. He created 11 Hole-in-the-Wall camps around the world, where over 135,000 children with incurable diseases have been helped.
It’s already obvious that the world will miss the King of Cool, but he lives on in great movies like Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, The Sting and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
