「幾つかの良いものは長く持たない」と歌われている。私達が嫌であろうと、人生は束の間で一時的なものだ。 今週、私達のアイコン的な存在で愛されていた映画スター、ポール・ニューマン氏（Paul Newman (1925-2008)）が自宅で癌との闘病中、亡くなった。 しかし彼の影響と見本は、彼を知っている人や愛している人の中で生き続けるであろう。
貴方は彼とロバート・レッドフォード（Robert Redford）が出演した「明日に向かって撃て！」や「暴力脱獄」、「ハスラー2」や、最近ではトム・ハンクス（Tom Hanks）と出演した「ロード・トゥ・パーディション」などの映画で見たかも知れない。
若い人達にとっては、ディズニー・ピクサー映画の「カーズ」でドック・ハドソン（Doc Hudson）に命を吹き込んだ人かも知れない。 彼と女優のジョアン・ウッドワード（Joanne Woodward）は50年間連れ添い、ハリウッド結婚で最も長持ちしている結婚の一つだと言われている。 彼は生粋の博愛主義者で、全ての利益を慈善事業に寄付する食品商品のニューマンズ・オウン（Newman’s Own）を設立した。
