oooh Happy birthday to her,.
I didn't know she'd succumbed to the dreaded AZ... she was such a beautidful and smart lady. It must be heartbreaking for her family to see the illness destroy her

I have Joanne Woodward's autograph! As a child, my dad's company was hired by Joanne and Paul for things in their CT home. My dad never usually went on the "outside" for work, he was the office guy, but when he found out the next job was for the Newmans he decided to go. He was asking the maid if Paul Newman was home, as he was hoping to get an autograph for his daughter. Coming down the staircase, Joanne called out to my dad, "Paul's not home, will I do?"

Always admired her for her no frills, nothing fancy about me attitude. Her and Cool Hand Luke had a nice life together void of scandals.

Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman have been my favourite actor/actress for a long time. They always seemed so down-to-earth in real life, and parts they've acted in.

I wish her well.

The Secret to Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward's 50-Year Marriage (LINK)

"While a 50-year marriage is no small feat in an industry known for its messy breakups, Woodward and Newman didn't seem to see it that way. "People stay married because they want to, not because the doors are locked," Newman once said. Besides, as he famously quipped, "I have steak at home. Why should I go out for hamburger?" "

Well I didn’t even know he had died!! I really don’t keep up with Hollywood anymore. I liked them both, I’m so sorry she has AZ, another disease we can’t find a cure for!
