"The Sting" (probably my favorite of his), "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "Cool Hand Luke," "Hud," "Somebody Up There Likes Me" (the one where he played the boxer Rocky Graziano), "The Verdict." These off the top of my head.<BR/><BR/>And "Mr. and Mrs. Bridge," in which he and Joanne Woodward played husband and wife. The movie (essentially a low-key drama with many moments of low-key humor) takes place in a small town in Kansas in the late 1930's and early 1940's, with Newman playing a small town lawyer. His character has a daughter (played by Kyra Sedgwick), on the verge of young adulthood, who has dreams of becoming an actress.<BR/><BR/>In an early scene in the movie, the daughter wants to rehearse the balcony scene from "Romeo and Juliet," while she stands on the upstairs porch of their house. Newman's character dutifully agrees to read Romeo's lines to help her rehearse. Newman gives a beautifully tempered, heartfelt, but utterly wooden reading of the lines, in keeping with his character, a conservative small town lawyer. The scene is brief but memorable.<BR/><BR/>In the credits at the end of the movie (I'm not making this up), the "Shakespeare Coach to Mr. Newman" is listed as Senator Robert Dole of Kansas.Lyle Daggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731915540520704368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9804989.post-19878554675525735792008-09-28T13:18:00.000-04:002008-09-28T13:18:00.000-04:00A talented, beautiful, generous man.

I believe he set it up after he lost his son to cancer.<BR/><BR/>This charity also gives a reprieve holiday to lifetime carers.<BR/><BR/>He was a great guy.Middle Ditchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493665280732775898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9804989.post-43632617969102113242008-09-28T05:14:00.000-04:002008-09-28T05:14:00.000-04:00He was a fine actor and I like the photo of him wh...He was a fine actor and I like the photo of him when he was young.
