Newman

They just announced on CNN that Paul Newman died of cancer. My favorite actor, gone at 83. So may great films, from "Cool Hand Luke" through "Butch Cassidy" and "The Sting" to "Nobody's Fool".

"What we have here is a failure to communicate!" and then the prison warden blows him away in "Cool Hand Luke".

The scene in "Nobody's Fool" where Melanie Griffith flashes him is great too- he says a lot with making a sound.

And of course he raced sports cars as a hobby. What a hobby! Later he just owned the team, but he actually raced at a fairly elderly age. How cool is that?
