Good Night, Mr. Newman



We saw Paul and Joanne only once, two years ago; they were having dinner with some friends at a quiet, elegant midtown restaurant. No paparazzi, no gawking tourists, no hyper "scene"; Joanne was lovely, gracious and impeccably put together, while Mr. Newman was slightly remote, understatedly dressed -- and yet commanded complete attention. You knew Someone Very Important was in the room, even before actually seeing him. And that, of course, is the mark of a True Star.

Paul Newman
January 26, 1925 - September 26, 2008
