Paul Newman, 1925-2008 Paul Newman, 1925-2008

Remembrances of the iconic actor from Shirley MacLaine, Kenneth Tynan, Ralph Nader, Helen Caldicott and other notable figures.
  • Doc Hudson vs. Che Guevara

    Paul Newman's crusty, kid-friendly, oddly classic final role (as a car). Plus: Film-world eggheads battle over Soderbergh's unconventional "Che."
  • More than just a beautiful face

    Gorgeous, sure, but it was Paul Newman's sly spark that made us love him -- and he never stopped reinventing himself.
  • Cool Hand puke

    Paul Newman's famous film character proved his manly mettle by eating 50 hard-boiled eggs in one hour. But when I tried to match him with Cadbury Creme Eggs, all I proved was my bad taste.
  • "Cars"

    This animated tale from Disney/Pixar is sleek and shiny, but is it anything to get revved up about?
  • Stars try to shine the way in Ohio

    Paul Newman, Steve Buscemi, Matt Dillon and a cast of dozens dazzle Cleveland with a door-to-door drive to get out the vote.
  • "Road to Perdition"

    Neither a good Paul Newman nor a bad Tom Hanks can save this dreary art-house flick from the airless grip of "American Beauty" director Sam Mendes.
  • Jules and Jim and Butch

    "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" is worth watching again to see the sexual subtexts that might -- or might not -- have been on purpose.
  • 31 Ejaculations: No. 30

    It's like Paul Newman said ...
  • "Where the Money Is"

    Credit aging bank robber Paul Newman for almost saving this merely diverting little heist comedy.
  • Blue Glow

    Salon's TV picks for Wednesday, April 12, 2000
  • Chevy Chase's pretzel logic

    Former SNL comedian gets rampaging ego disease! "Barbie Girl" singer gets breast implants, gets "the creeps when I'm compared with that doll"; Plus: Boo-hoo! Darva and Rick officially call it quits!
  • Dirty Gerald

    The sheriff of Davidson County, N.C., is a big-screen lawman for a TV nation.
  • Boobs of the century?

    Ginger Spice: "I'll have bigger breasts than all of you"; Elizabeth Hurley disses Marilyn Monroe; is Kevin Spacey on the daddy track? Plus: Drudge claims the White House New Year's Eve party featured the horizontal hula!
  • Nick Nolte

    An actor of extraordinary range and physical presence, he shines in roles where the tough-guy hero is strung up by the depth of his own feelings.
  • Confidence man

    From gorgeous smartass to dependable old pro, Paul Newman has always known the score.
  • "Twilight"

    Charles Taylor reviews 'Twilight' Directed by Robert Benton. Starring Paul Newman, Susan Sarandon, and Gene Hackman.
