After graduating with a Bachelors in English, he pursued the serious study of his craft, at first with the Yale Drama school, and then, with the Actors’ Theatre, in New York. As such, he was perhaps the most dedicated actor of his day.
The characters which he brought to life, and made an inspiration, would seem poorly portrayed, and even ridiculous, in the hands of almost anyone else.
His modesty and selfless loyalty to charitable causes, as well as to peace and the environment, should be an inspiration, especially to those in the entertainment industry.
Paul Newman was a hero of mine, from childhood on, a positive, personal example, in several ways, and I, and many others will rightfully miss him. Regards are sent to his family, and perhaps, a way to honor Paul Newman is to make a donation to help the fight against cancer.
