Paul Newman, possibly the best looking man in the history of the planet; certainly a hero for anyone wishing to know how to deal with wealth, fame and notoriety; and without a doubt, someone to view as a role model, has died.

Sad.

“You can’t be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning: ‘Holy Christ, whaddya know – I’m still around!’ It’s absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career.”
