I was 11 years old when I first fell in love, and of course it was Paul Newman. I thought to myself, "how can I be in love with a white man?" Of course it was during the turbulent times of segregation and I was teased by my girlfriends that a white man would not look twice at me. I did not believe them because when you looked into those lipid pools of azure, you felt the warmth radiating from his soul and what a precious soul it was. I learned that you cannot judge all men by one man's actions and learned to love him for his incredible craft and Christian sould. Godspeed Mr. Newman, you were a prince among men. To the family, what a blessing you were given to be part of this wonderful man's life and legacy. Be blessed

thank you Paul for all the wonderful movies, for your charity "Newman's Own" and for all of your camps for the very ill children. To Joanne and his children the world has lost a wonderful husband, father and "friend"He cannot be replaced. God broke the mold when he made Paul Newman.

He will be missed. I met Paul through racing. He was an inspiration to us all.

Dear Joanne and Family, My deepest sympathy goes out to you. I will always remember Mr. Paul Newman as a wonderful, talented, loving, giving, and humble gentleman, son, husband, father, actor and philanthropist who lived his live with dignity, respect and love for his family and those who were less fortunate. Even though he was from a humble background, he was always helping others with his charities. I enjoyed all of his movies, with his sparkling baby blue eyes, charm and personality. May God bless you all and may his love and beautiful spirit live in your hearts always. May perpetual light shine on Mr. Paul Newman always.

They don't make 'em like they used to. Paul Newman his wife, and family are gems. Gems all of us should inspire to be. We think it was 1965, and there was Mr. Newman racing alongside my husband at Limerock. A regular Joe. Our condolences to the family-his suffering has stopped, and he is hopefully doing all that he loved before-Bon Voyage Mr. Newman.

What can I say about Paul Newman. I grew up with him, seen everyone of his movies 100 times and envied Joanne Woodward...I always knew Joanne Woodward was the luckiest women in the world and Paul Newman was the luckiest man. What a love story....There relationship should be the model for marriage. I would have like to have met Paul Newman just to let him know how I admired him and respected him as an actor, humantarian and most of all a great human being, that if we had more people like him and Joanne Woodward in this world it would be a much better place and it was. He will be missed but when I think of him, although I had tears in my eyes when I heard of his passing, I will smile, for in my thoughts I will remember the laughter, tears and happiness he brought me throughout my life...What a legacy.. God bless Joanne Woodward and the entire Newman Family. My prayers are with you.

My love for Paul Newman started as a teenage crush. While living in New Orleans I remember sneaking out of my room late in the evening to try to catch a glimpse of him while they filmed at the fountain near my house beside Lake Pontchatrain for the movie WUSA. I almost fainted when Paul walked within 30 feet of me. I only wish now as a member of the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corp that I could be part of the Honor Guard that I hope will be present at his funeral. His service to our country while in the Navy is as important as was his fantastic career in film and on the stage. His warm smile, magnetic blue eyes and unmatched charisma will be missed!! My sympathy to you Joanne especially as I know the pain of losing the one you love as my husband of only 20 years passed away in March of 2007.

I had watched my copy of "The Verdict" again last week and thinking how much I loved watching Paul Newman act. And I thought what a great loss it will be when he passes away. So the news of his death was felt deeply. I also had the privelege of visiting one of the Hole in the Wall camps near Ocala, FL. I would like to express my deepest condolances to Ms. Woodward and family about their loss.

Joanne Woodward, Paul Newman was the greatest actors of all time and he will be truly missed. Joanne Wooodward and Paul Newman were two (2) of cutest couples in the acting industry and i have always had my admiration for the two of them. I know what you are going through and just always remember the good times i know that the two (2) of you shared with each other. If all of the people in Tinseltown looked at you as role models there would have been and more marriages like yours. god bless and you and your daughters. By now for Paul, but you will never be forgotten.
