While on my break this afternoon, I checked my email via my phone and saw a breaking news alert. I half-jokingly said aloud, “Breaking news? Uh oh, who died?” Then when I opened the email, it told me that actor Paul Newman passed away. And then I felt sorta bad.
I couldn’t tell you the last movie I saw with him in it. I’m not sure I ever saw a movie with him in it, so I really have no opinion on his talent. I have tasted his lemonade, though; I found it refreshing.
I use to buy his cookies for my creative writing students - good and vegetarian friendly. I too hate to say I’ll remember him more for the foods than for the flix.
I had to check imdb when I heard he died and was reminded that I had seen him in The Towering Inferno and I did like him in that.
