http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/09/27/paul-newman-legendary-actor-and-liberal-activist-dead-of-cancer-at-83/ Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."

Newman was married once before his marraige to Joanne Woodward. Also Pat, I agree with you about Newman as an actor. My favorite role is Fast Eddy Felsen in The Hustler. I've seen that movie at least 20 times and if Newman had done nothing else, he should still considered a great actor. I need to correct myself.

He never got a big hollywood head and considered himself the same as anyone else. He was married just once, to Joanne Woodward, and there was never any tabloid news about him fooling around. If he wanted to, he could have bedded a different female every night. And while campaigning for liberal causes, he did it in such a way that the cause was the focus, not him. Paul Newman was much more of an American hero and role model than John Wayne, whom Pat has discussed before. Everything I’ve read about Paul Newman indicates he was a class act.
