RIP Paul Newman

[Shane]

One of Hollywood's greatest actors, Paul Newman, passed away earlier in the week from lung cancer. He was 82.

Besides being active in films for over 50 years, Newman also raised hundreds of millions of dollars for charity. Most of this came through the sell of Newman's Own, his popular line of salad dressings.

For those unfamiliar with his work, I would highly recommend the following films:

The Hustler
Hud
Harper
Cool Hand Luke
The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Nobody's Fool
Absence of Malice
The Verdict
Slap Shot
