Default A Class Act

When my sons were old enough, watching Cool Hand Luke together was a required syllabus item in the father-son bonding process. A true class act & the real deal in an environment surrounded by poseurs & "celebrities." Check six & fly safe, Mr. Newman

I love the scene in "The Sting" where he out-cheats that man on the train.

It was nice to know that he gave back to the world by donating his profits to charities, as well as other things. I can count the number of celebs that I know of, that do that, on 1 hand. I wish there were more like him in Hollywood. God speed cool hand.
