As a huge fan, I just have to give a tribute to Paul Newman (a Cleveland native by the way). I'm not a huge old movie buff, but Newman managed to transcend generations with movies like "The Sting", "Butch Cassidy", and "Cool Hand Luke."
But beyond being a stud actor, Newman was one of the great philanthropists donating over $250 million from proceeds of his Newman's Own spaghetti sauce and salad dressing.
As a little tribute here are some of his best lines:
Newman (on cheating on his wife): "When I have a steak at home, why go out for a hamburger?"
Butch Cassidy: What happened to the old bank? It was beautiful.
Guard: People kept robbing it.
Butch Cassidy: Small price to pay for beauty.
Butch Cassidy: How many are following us?
Sundance Kid: All of 'em.
Butch Cassidy: All of 'em? What's the matter with those guys?
Butch Cassidy: I have vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals.
Butch Cassidy: If he'd just pay me what he's spending to make me stop robbing him, I'd stop robbing him.
Butch Cassidy: I couldn't do that. Could you do that? Why can they do it? Who are those guys?
Johnny Hooker: He's not as tough as he thinks.
Henry Gondorff: Neither are we.
Luke: Sometimes nothing can be a pretty cool hand.
