NEWMAN--Paul. The Board of Trustees and staff of New York City Center express great sadness at the passing of Paul Newman, beloved husband of Joanne Woodward, devoted longtime member of our Board, and dedicated champion of the arts. He was a great friend and loyal supporter of City Center, and his passionate commitment to Encores! through Newman's Own has been an invaluable gift to artists and audiences alike. A dear member of our City Center family, he will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathies and love are with Joanne and her entire family. Raymond A. Lamontagne, Chairman Arlene Shuler, President & CEO

"I was very saddened to hear about Mr. Newman's death - its now been 10-years. He was extraordinary actor who displayed Superb talent. He was also a race car driver - who developed into a winning driver - if he had started sooner - who knows - Nevertheless. he left behind his movies for the public to see and the next generations in the near future - miss these movies - Message in the Bottle reminded me of advice my father had also given" God Bless and God Speed Mr. Newman!

I was very saddened to hear about Mr Newman's death. He was extraordinary actor who displayed
Superb talent. Nevertheless. he left behind his movies for the public to see and the next generations in the near future. I believe that he is in heaven with jesus and mary and one day we will
See him again when jesus comes back to judge the
Living and the dead. Rest peacefully my dear actor.


Sincerely.

Paul was a class act. Both on the screen and the racetrack, he was always "Best Performance". He brought so much to everything he touched and left a legacy to benefit so many. Today he would have been 92. We celebrate his birth, his life and his contributions to our lives. Thanks, Paul!

I saw the interview of BJ Thomas where he said he never thought his song will be part of an iconic Americana. He was referring to the bicycle scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and the song is Raindrops keep falling on my head."

I watched the movie this weekend and was so entertained. Paul Newman, you are a great actor.

I saw your picture sitting on a wheelchair outside the hospital after chemo,waiting for the ride home. You looked so serene. I suppose you were serene when you died.

Thank you for living your life well. I like your attitude. I will imitate it.

God bless you.

from the time I saw you in From The Terrace I was hooked at the age of 17. I never missed a movie you made and feel you were never recognized for your true talent as an actor.

You will always be remembered as your movies will be a reminder of your great talent.

May God Bless you and your family and give you lasting peace.

I loved his movies, his beautiful blue eyes but most of all his integrity. He seemed to be special in ways a lot of people don't seem to try to achieve. I know his family will continue to miss him for the loving family man he was and the world will be a little less bright for his passing. His "greatness" was for the things that much surpassed his acting qualities.

I was a child when I first saw him on screen in a double feature of "Hud" and "Cool Hand Luke", I was ten and fell in love with a movie star for the first and only time. Ruggedly handsome and witty as well as talented and an avid activist for the very best causes my admiration only increased as years went by. I wish his family peace, especially his wife Joanne.

He is America's best actor of all time. I believe his reluctance to be part of Hollywood's frivolity was held against him, else he would have a dozen Oscars. His beauty as a human being matched his physical beauty. My life was greatly affected by Paul Newman. He got me through years of insecurity through his movies and my dream of one day meeting him. Unfortunately that never happened. I fell in love with him when I was 12 and have never lost that love. I even married a man named Paul who has blue eyes and could be mistaken for his brother. We are still together after 42 years.

Thank you Mr. Newman for all the work you did for the world. I had the biggest crush on you when I was raised in Mexico; where I had a huge black and white poster with them blue eyes. You will forever be remembered. And I got a laugh when I read that you thought your highest accomplishment was that Nixon thought you an enemy of the country because of all your work for peace. I am an enemy also then. I buy your products in the stores to support your causes. Blessed be and may you rest in peace.

Of course I had a crush on you, what woman didn't, but it was not only for the blue eyes, the handsome looks, but your acting ability and trust me I saw everyone of your movies and because in Hollywood, how many men marry the love of their life and stay married, how many think of the poor, the underdog and the sick children. You and your wife were remarkable people..You gave from the heart...I wish some of the other stars would adopt your ways. I cried when you left this world and My husband comforted me....than on April 8, 2012, after 49 years 9 months I lost the love of my life and I know how Jo Ann felt. We are only here for a short time and both of you left your mark on this world....Many, many years from now, you will be remembered as two of the best in Movies,,,And Paul should have won more awards...He was terrific.....He was a natural...May God Bless.....Linda Myers Harn,

Mr. Newman, had what Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant had. True genuine people. It would be worth my last dime to see their movies. They had standards and stood by them, true men. We will never see any other actor that equals their skills. I will miss them always but so happy they left films behind that will be seen by generations to come. R.I.P. BLUE EYES.

Finally able to thank you for every single moment you gave to us on "the screen"..I always knew you were the person you were portraying, and it was because you were so believable..just now remembering the great roles you had and how you "aced" them. So now, Mr. Newman, I want to thank you for so many wonderful movies and experiences...in life you gave so much, and now you bask in the light of your memories....so continued peace to you and your family always...Bravo!!!

YOU NEVER KNEW HOW TO PUT DOWN A GOOD ROLL WHEN IT CAME TO YOUR ACTING, IT WAS PERFECT IN ALL THE WAYS YOU ESTABLISHED. YOUR CAREER WAS LONG AND FULL OF ENERGY. YOUR SMILE WAS IN YOUR EYES, AND IN YOUR HEART. YOU WILL BE MISSED BY MILLIONS, ESPECIALLY ME. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, AND I WILL ALWAYS WATCH YOUR MOVIES.

I frequently buy your products and am thrilled to know that they are not only great products, but all proceeds help children at the hole in the wall camps as well as other charities. I love that you were married to your lovely wife for over 50 years. A class act all around. I will never stop enjoying your movies. Where are all the role models for this generation?? You were the best.

I send my deepest condolence. Throughout the years I have always enjoyed this movies. What a loss to the film industry and to those who loved his movies.
I most impressed with his role as Minnesota Fats. I understand he was quite a pool player himself. We love you and miss you. "May God Bless You."
You are my favorite actor.
