RIP Paul Newman

Sorry, I'm a little late on this...

Actor Paul Newman has died pf cancer at the age of 83.

He died Friday in his home in Westport, Conn, according to spokeswoman Marni Tomljanovic.

Newman appeared in classic films such as "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Exodus," "The Hustler," "Cool Hand Luke," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Sting" and "The Verdict." He won an Oscar in 1986 for "The Color of Money."

In 1982, Newman and his friend A.E. Hotchner founded Newman's Own, a food company that produced food ranging from pasta sauces to salad dressing to chocolate chip cookies.

"The embarrassing thing is that the salad dressing is outgrossing my films," Newman once wryly noted.

My family and I used the Newman's Own Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette on our salads last night as a tribute.
