News this morning that Paul Newman has died of cancer at age 83.
.
Opened a Paul Newman cabernet sauvignon last night and had a maudlin meltdown over the imminent passing of my cocker spaniel, Marley. Life’s little coincidences.
I met Paul Newman in Indiana while campaigning for Gene McCarthy. Yes, those eyes really were that blue. And the twinkle carried through his beautiful work in film, and his charity work, and even his car racing down the road a bit at the Brainerd raceway.
A real star. A real hero. A real man.
