Remembering why Paul Newman was such a popular star
Paul Newman died today from complications of cancer. He was 83. He also was an Oscar-winning actor, a philanthropist, a Democrat (he was a delegate to the 1968 convention in Chicago) and a Grade-A Hollywood Hunk.
This past summer one of the classic movie channel was playing the 1958 film Long Hot Summer while I was reading a book. I looked up and saw one of the most gorgeous men I’ve ever seen. Of course it was 33-year-old Paul Newman oozing sex appeal right out of the big-screen TV.
Most of us alive today - if we know him - only know him as an elderly actor or as the guy who sells salad dressing at the local Safeway or Kroger store.
But, as attested by the photos below. He also was a hottie in his day.
