My sister said that, at a gathering she was at yesterday, when they discussed his death, one of the women there claimed to have never heard of him. I mean--PAUL NEWMAN!? Not even the salad dressing?!
My Mom and Paul Newman shared the same birthday. She was enamored with him, as all of us May girls were. She passed away this year too. Maybe they are finally meeting. I like to think that...
So sorry to hear about your mom. But, yes, wouldn't it be wonderful for her to be having a chance to get to know Mr. Newman. NOW my dad tells me that his grandmother's family (the Newmans) came from the same part of the country that Paul came from and maybe we're related. If only I had know then that we're distant cousins (as if!), I could've boldly walked up and introduced myself (as if!).
I guess we were lucky to have had him around during our lifetimes. Still, it is very sad.
