A Hollywood icon married over 50 years!! We've lost a good one! I can only imagine your lost JW! You and your family are in our prayers!

Started my Paul Newman Memorial Film Festival last night with the George Roy Hill classic, "The Sting." I can't believe I had never seen it before, it is truely a masterpiece.

Next up: "The Hustler" (another one I haven't seen).
