Paul Newman, RIP

I don't usually comment on celebrity deaths, but Paul Newman is in a whole different category. Newman died last night, age 83. He easily ranks as one of the great film actors of all time; there aren't many actors left who can boast a similarly impressive body of work. My own personal favorite role of his was Mr. Samuel J. Musburger in the underrated Cohen brothers' comedy The Hudsucker Proxy, although I also have to give a shout-out to his sleazy, boozy plaintiffs' attorney in The Verdict. RIP.
