For a long time Redford lived in Utah with his first wife, Lola. The property eventually became Sundance, which started as more of a ski resort. Sundance is now, of course, a film festival. I have relatives in Utah, living near Redford for a long time. I visited often. In all the time Redford has lived in Utah - a non…

Many years ago, i used to hang out in an East Village dive bar, Lucy’s, run by the eponymous Lucy, a wonderful old Polish woman who could hug you like a Babushka or bounce you like Xena Warrior Princess. I was sitting at the end of the bar with a friend, as “Long Hot Summer” played on the TV above us. Lucy drifted…

I just recently read a story where Susan Sarandon said that Paul Newman found out the male leads of the 1998 film Twilight were getting paid more than her. Once he found this out, he paid the difference to put them on equal footing.

I assigned All is Lost to my class a few years ago, and one of the young women in the class came in after watching it and was like, “I know that guy is old, but there was just something about him.” I was like, “honey, you have no idea.”

Those icy blue eyes! And all the stories that he was genuinely a lovely person help. 

Yes to both. (But really, Paul Newman was maybe the hottest man ever ever).

It’s true. Personally I give Newman a slight edge in the beauty and tomato sauce departments. 

No need to argue. They are both eternally hot

Well the article is about Redford, but there’s no denying the beauty of a young Paul Newman.

My #1 of all time. 

Counterpoint.

I’m with Mom.

I’ve never seen it. I need to buy a rock shaped house and live under it.

Wills is perfect and should be Bachelor 2020

Bobby was also disowned by his ultra-conservative family as a teenager and moved out when he was still a kid. That guy had a fucking rough go of it and so if he wants to throw a hamburger or two then goddamnit I say pass the ketchup (the ketchup being attached to the burger in some way or at least in small packets in…

Rep Diane Black, one of Trump’s most fervent supporters from the beginning, lost her bid for Governor of Tennessee lastnight!!! I am FILLED WITH GLEE. She was a pretty prominent politician and had a definite future in House leadership, but she abandoned her seat in order to make this run. And she fucking failed. And I…

Yea, it’s true. I remember seeing him back in the 80's then into the 90's and being amazed THEN by how he never really seemed to change. There are very few guys putting on shows of that length in the first place - other than jam bands - let alone being 68 and having that kind of energy. Bobby Weir still does two sets…

You mean other than a song request in the school newspaper for “It Must Have Been Love (But its OVER NOW)“ to Rick?

If she’s planning to cast Aidan Turner in any role, I’m in. I would watch him read the phone book, preferably shirtless (him, not the phone book).  And I just realized that that analogy is no longer relevant since phone books are no longer published, so I guess I’d watch him read my car’s owners manual instead.
