The most famous blue eyes in movie history...

PAUL NEWMAN
1925 - 2008


Screen legend, superstar, and the man with the most famous blue eyes in movie history.


I had no natural gift to be anything - not an athlete, not an actor, not a writer, not a director, a painter of garden porches - not anything. So I've worked really hard, because nothing ever came easily to me.


I would like it if people would think that beyond Newman, there's a spirit that takes action, a heart, and a talent that doesn't come from my blue eyes.


I'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried - who tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being. Someone who isn't complacent, who doesn't cop out.


A man with no enemies is a man with no character


Men experience many passions in a lifetime. One passion drives away the one before it


I'm not able to work anymore as an actor and still at the level that I would want to. I'm just, you know, you start to lose your memory, you start to lose your confidence, you start to lose your invention. So I think that's pretty much a closed book for me.


I picture my epitaph:

"Here lies Paul Newman, who died a failure because his eyes turned brown."
