We knew it was coming (Paul Newman's last ride), but still when the news actually hits you, it's more than a little jolt. Movie fans and car fans just lost one of the good guys. Paul Newman succumbed to cancer yesterday. He was 83 years old. Rest in peace Paul. You will be dearly missed.
Here's Inside Line's take: Paul Newman, American Racer, 1925-2008 and Paul Newman, American Racer, Dies at 83

I'm incredibly sad to see him pass. I think the article on Slate was brilliant about him-- not about him as a race car driver, but as a remarkable human being.
