It’s ironic how his marriage to Woodward is upheld as noble in contrast to today’s philanderers when, in fact, his relationship with her was a five decade affair. He was already married to another woman when he started chasing Woodward. If he could have been as devoted in his first union, the accolades would be deserved.

Watch ‘Hombre’ sometime. Paul’s character was looked down upon by every other character, but his guile and ability saved all of them. That movie is very touching, and I feel in watching it again and again that Paul embued the character of John Russell with his own personal courage and character. Paul Newman’s legacy will live forever, a reminder for all of us to be better than what we sometimes settle for.

Love the site, but, hate to break it to you that that is actually Steve McQueen (playing Chief Michael O’Hallorhan http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072308/) in that scene from the Towering Inferno and not Mr Newman.

My favourite would be Cool Hand Luke.

Cheers.

@ LTB

I realize I’m very late to this party but I would suggest to you to research a little more about Paul Newman before you criticize the honoring bestowed him here.
Newman never made a dime by hawking pictures of himself on spaghetti sauce and salad dressing. All profits went to charity.
Further, I would suggest you read this article on Newman published after his death:

Any man who went to the lengths that he did to bring happiness to those less fortunate, especially children, deserves a place as a man of honor just like the fine gentlemen you mentioned.
Respectfully,
U…

I have always admired Paul Newman for putting his money to work in such productive ways…

Can’t believe you left out my favorite Paul Newman movie: Harper (and the later sequel – Drowning Pool)

And LTB – lighten up! Sheesh, we can’t appreciate a great actor and a decent man without you butting in with your ‘bubbububu…butwaitaminute’? Take a chill pill and relax.

Before you get all high and mighty, do some research.

Nothing High and Mighty about it and I am sorry you missed my point.

I acknowledged actors can be manly and gave some example..
Nor were my comments or example only focused on Military Service..

The posts I read could have come out of “Vogue” or “Glamor” Magazine and it got my Goat.

I enjoy this site. Thank you for creating it. Thank you for creating a simple place for comments.

If this site is about Real Men should it not stick to the lives of real men.
Not Actors, Politicians, the “Rich and Famous”?

There are plenty of media outlets that talk of nothing else everyday.

Why not continue to focus on real men and what it means to be a real man… living in the real world . They are the ones who have earned my respect.

Sincerely and Respectfully

LTB

I heard Actor Newman died…

Some men you are, when you look too and lament the loss of an actor..

Real Men everyday live their lives courageously and honorably most times in obscurity. They are not pretenders, actors living in a make believe world..
They are not playing Cowboy or Soldier or Working Man or Prisoner they are the real thing.

The guns for the soldier are real and the blood, the long dusty ride of the cowhand is real. Those crazy fellows fishing the Bering Sea are more manly in their sleep than Paul Newman or those of his ilk..

They are real men who experience real the victories and defeats.. Not Hawking pictures of themselves on Salad Dressing Bottles or Spaghetti Sauce.

Man Up… the real heroes are fellows like Col Lewis Millet, Dr Jonas Sallk, FDR. Along with millions more who haul themselves to jobs many do not much care for to provide a future for themselves and their families.

They do not live lives of excess, lives of flattery…and adulation… and they like it that way.

Can Actors be real Men.. Sure…..

General Jimmy Stewart , Pilot, 23, B17 Bombing Missions over Europe.. Sgt Clark Gable Gunnery Instructor. Steve McQueen (troubled Marine), Lee Marvin (Plumber) Combat Marine. Professor Emeritus, Dollege Dean, NRA President Joe Foss (MOH).. Ronald Reagan… in the middle of defeating the Soviet Union shot by a real assassin…with a real bullet in his side…. his comment to the Doctors as he lay on the Operating Table… while the bullet was still in him….” I hope your all Republicans.”..

Pay Homage to Pretenders…..Pretty Boys like Newman?

Don’t make me Laugh.
