R.I.P.: Paul Newman

     From the Los Angeles Times:

     A spokeswoman for screen legend Paul Newman says the actor has died at age 83.
     Spokeswoman Marni Tomljanovic says Newman died Friday of cancer. No other details were immediately available.

     Newman was nominated for Academy Awards 10 times, winning a regular Oscar in 1987 for "The Color of Money" and two honorary ones. He was equally at home in comedies such as "The Sting" and dramas such as "Hud."
     He sometimes teamed with his wife, Joanne Woodward, also an Oscar winner for the 1957 film "Three Faces of Eve."

     From Marketwatch.com:

     In a statement, Newman's Own Foundation Vice-Chairman Robert Forrester noted:

     "And true to form, he shared this good fortune by donating all the profits and royalties he earned to thousands of charities around the world, a total which now exceeds $250 million."

     After hearing all week about the greedy bastards that have helped bring the economy to its knees, it's particularly sad to wake up to news about the passing of one of their polar opposites.
