    Paul Newman made this world a better place to live in, simply leading by example. Every time I see him I have to smile immediately, can't help it, God Bless him. Beautiful tribute at the end, preceeded by funny stories about the man, not tearful ones, David skillfully concealed the obvious sadness he felt.

    Man, the world lost a gigantic touch of class, grace and talent when Mr. Newman passed away. And David Letterman is the best at what he did - ever. He made it look so easy. Nobody was or is even close to him.

    my high school sweetheart was living in Durango, Colorado when Paul Newman was filming Butch Cassidy. She said he would buy a six pack of Coors--with the plastic holder-- drink one then lace the empty holder space through his belt so that the other five beers were hanging from his belt and he would knock them back one at a time. I don't know if he drank a case but he definitely loved beer.

      When he was filming sometimes A Great Notion in Oregon on the Siletz River, where I live, and we heard stories of how he used to race my plumber up and down Highway 101 in their Corvettes and the police never bothered them at all. They did it so late at night. Local neighbors would have them over to dinner and they would go to the local pubs and drink beer and it was just a lot of fun to have Paul Newman around.

    • @dongiller
      @dongiller  4 роки тому +8

      The timeline: Paul’s last appearance on LS was in January 2007. It was in June 2008 when the press first reported on his cancer. Paul said then he had been diagnosed 18 months before. That takes us back to December 2006, a month before Paul’s last LS appearance.
      How would Dave ask him about his illness in January 2007, when Paul had kept it secret until June 2008? Let’s say, for argument’s sake, that Dave did know. Why would he betray Paul’s confidence?
      That’s why he didn’t bring it up. Either he didn’t know, or he did know and respected Paul’s request to not blurt it out to the world.

      @@dongiller I can easily imagine someone like Barbara Walters saying 'So Paul, you have terminal cancer ! How do you feel about that ?' when he wanted it kept private

    Dave must’ve thought he was still doing his daytime gig when he said good morning

      No, he was referencing the time of night the show was being aired.
