I'm very sad about the passing of Paul Newman.... one of the very
greatest of our film actors...
Will boast that I saw him on TV in the 50's (when I was in the theatre)
and made a point of telling
my mate I was sure he was going to go far... I can't remember the show...
a couple of years later - 1958 I believe, I saw him on stage on
Broadway in "Sweet Bird of Youth" with Geraldine
Page and Rip Torn. Our seats were in the balcony, but Newman's
piercing blue eyes were like beacons all the way
up to me.
I may be a bit teary over it because it is compounded by the failing
health of two of my good friends, making me more
vulnerable - The only other time I got teared up over well-known
performers passing were those I had actually known
back in the day.
