At the end of the first intermission I turned around and stared straight into Paul Newman's eyes. I was so stunned I didn't even look for his wife. One of those moments when I thought, "Okay. If I get hit by a taxi cab when I leave here, my life would have been fine."
Oh, lucky you, Martha...you need not say more. I know just what you mean.
I've been listening to all the accolades and memorials about Paul Newman since his passing. While I enjoyed all his classic movies too, I'd have to say my favorite Paul Newman film of all time is probably "Nobody's Fool". It was one of his much later ones, and I loved the way he interacted with all the other characters in the film, particularly Jessica Tandy (it may have been her last film). It's one of the few movies I've ever bothered to actually buy to keep. Definitely gets a big
from me.
He will certainly be missed.
