I just heard this sad news. 

 

I always loved Paul Newman - from the days of  The Hustler (even I´m too young to remember the earlier ones!) through to his recent films like ´Road to Perdition´.

 

He was gorgeous looking man in his younger days,  a great actor and director and well known philanthropist who was married to his wife Joanne Woodward for over 50 years.   A legend in the film industry.

He was one of my favourites too, especially in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Apparently he once said how thankful he was that he had been given the chance to love his wife.  What a lovely thing to have said.

 

Sorry , I haven´t got a source I can paste here . . . I just heard it on the BBC news .

He was LURVLEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

However he led a charmed life, was very happy and died at a ripe old age, so I guess I won´t cry

May he rest in peace. I´ve watched many of movies since childhood. He really added something to all the movies he took part in. We keep losing great actors. To understand what I mean just compare Keanu Reeves or Tom Cruise to Humphry Bogart. Bogart, Brando, Welles and Lemmon were actors like actors, many of modern actors today are just movie stars.

Quoting vineyards

Bogart, Brando, Welles and Lemmon were actors like actors, many of modern actors today are just movie stars.

 

I WANT to agree with you, because I think that actors have lost their allure, but the fact is that, despite everything, actors are more talented today! 

 

If you watch a Bogart film, for example, the character is always Bogart (he just reads the lines) (Bogart, Wells and Lemmon fall into this catagory but not Brando).  However, if you watch a Tom Cruise film, he is playing a character, not himself. 

 

Having said that I loved Bogart - particularly in the African Queen

I am a big fan of Bogart myself. It is true Bogart stands out in crowd. Some of this can be attributed to the fact that Bogart had a style of his own. But then the cinema of the day was very heavily stylistic, all of his movies (probably except one last unfinished movie) belong to the Cinema Noire era. You needed a bit more than blue eyes and neat hair to clinch a place in the viewers hearts. It is through his eminent acting skills that he added the well known Bogart touch. For this reason, he is considered to be the best movie actor ever and this is not only my  opinion.

 

If I were a director and wanted to shoot a movie, he would certainly be among the first names to come to my mind...
