The Sting is by far my favorite and loved his voice as Doc Hudson in Cars.

Very sad when we lose a great philanthropist. He could have started a charity for down-on-their-luck-wall-streeters.

You dumb fucl<s.

Nobody's Fool was the best followed by CHL,BC&SD and then The Sting.


I think I would go with the card game in The Sting as him at his funniest.

I should add I know a lady who waitressed at a restaurant in Newton Falls ..at a place Newman came with his crew when he raced at Nelson Ledges here.


She said he was just one of the guys and had no pretense at all....and was very generous.


That may not be news,but it simply affrims what a good guy he was.

Well he really was a good guy. He always said he was lucky to be born with what he had and in this country.


His company ( along with his partner who should get a lot of credit,too) donated all profits to charity...250 million and counting...and he wasn't one one the richest 100 in the US,either.


He didn't move to Hollywoody.


He was remarkably down to earth..like Frost...he was the Every Man's Big Star.



He was only half Jewish.






( I'm kidding my Fine Jewish American friends.)







And he was from Cleveland.






It don' git no bettah 'an at.

Probably the most influential actor of my lifetime. But I choose to remember him for what he said one day when asked about the "secret" of the stability of his relationship with his lifelong best friend and wife Joanne W.

"Why go out for a hamburger when you have steak at home" ....

Some use their celebrity as a vehicle to fame. PN used his to benefit us all. His environmental stances and non-profit food ventures made you proud to be a fan of his. RIP Luke......there was no "failure to communicate" in your life.
