Film legend Paul Newman’s death brought reaction from all over Hollywood. Here are a few.

“There is a point where feelings go beyond words. I have lost a real friend. My life — and this country — is better for his being in it.”

“He was my hero.”

JULIA ROBERTS,

“Paul was a very fine actor and a really good race driver. But mostly, he personified humanity — always taking care of those who were less fortunate. For me, this will be his legacy.”

“Paul was an American icon, philanthropist and champion for children. We will miss our dear friend, whose continued support always meant the world to us.”
