Actors. They all pretend for a living. I wish I could pretend to do the laundry or cook dinner and get paid big bucks to do it. With movies as they are now, I think I will just pretend to go and save some of the big bucks I don't get. I will say this, we were not pretending when we swooned over Paul Newman, or when we admired the way he was never linked to scandal, and when we thought his long time marriage to Joanne Woodward was a great example to the world. We are not pretending now when we salute his achievements as a human being.

Can't forget Paul's hilarious and wonderful performance as the lead in "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean"!! A very great movie that may have not been one of his biggest, but it is still one to add to your DVD library!!
