Sorry for your loss, Joanne and family. Sorry for our loss of a generous humanitarian and a celebrity with true depth and majesty. He stayed married to the same woman for fifty years in a culture in which marriages have long been a travesty. He gave every bit of the huge proceeds of his food company to charity. He had the distinction of being on Nixon's infamous "enemies list," which he considered an honor.
The last thing I saw Paul in was Our Town, in which he played "the Stage Manager." He did a wonderful job and it was the best version I've seen. Of course he was great in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Cool Hand Luke, Hud, The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Verdict, The Hustler, and many others. The ones I named hardly begin to cover the fine body of work he did.
Goodbye, Paul. The God I believe in will have a high place in heaven for you.
