The fine actor, and one of the biggest movie stars of the 20th century, passed away on Friday. I long enjoyed Newman's movies, especially "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Sting," and "Slap Shot," one of the all-time great sports movies. I'm also partial to the criminally underrated 2003 Sam Mendes film "Road to Perdition," which was Newman's final major role. He will be missed.
