About a week ago, Paul Newman passed away, and I was aboslutely devastated. When you look at Hollywood, and the culture that comes with being in the public-eye, sometimes you can feel revolted by it. With Paul Newman, there was no way to hate him; he was just that perfect. I honestly believe that he is one-of-a-kind, and that he is the apitome of PERFECTION.

I got my first experience of Paul Newman from Hud. I remember surfing through channels on a boring weekend, and then in awe of this man's presence on screen, and how gorgeous he looked with that cowboy hat. From then on, I've been in love with Paul Newman. He incapsulates what I think every husband should be, every actor should be, and every human being should be. He never sold himself out, and never gave into "The Man."
When I found out about his death, I cried. And I cried a lot. I didn't think I woould have such a reaction to a death of an actor, but it truly, and deeply broke my heart. I had known things were looking grim, but I never imagined him leaving us so quickly, and so unexpectedly.
Paul Newman will be missed. Because I admired him so much, it was an obvious decision to make him my "Man of the Week"
