Paul Newman, in Memoriam

I took these photographs at the “Road to Perdition” press junket in Chicago, June 27, 2002. These are two photos from a roll of unpublished photographs I took of him that day. It was the only time I met him. He was funny, charming, intelligent, cantankerous and the classiest guy in the room. He made it clear who was in charge and it most decidedly wasn't the 100 plus members of the press corps that day. He was among our greatest entertainers and humanitarians. In fact, he remains the only actor I've met who deserved my admiration for his humanitarian efforts. All others pale in comparison. I am deeply saddened by his passing but I rejoice in his magnificent life. –Thomas McNulty
