I was sad to hear of the death of Paul Newman yesterday. He
was one my favorite actors. I am sure everyone has their favorite role of his,
but my favorite was his role as the Luke Jackson the convict in Cool Hand Luke.
His line “shaking the bush here boss” is one of my favorite movie lines and the
scene of him attempting to eat “fifty eggs in a hour” is a classic. The following
quote from his NY Times obituary sums up Paul Newman, the man: “We are such
spendthrifts with our lives,” Mr. Newman once told a reporter. “The trick of
living is to slip on and off the planet with the least fuss you can muster. I’m
not running for sainthood. I just happen to think that in life we need to be a
little like the farmer, who puts back into the soil what he takes out.”
