My all-time favorite Paul Newman line, a 20-second video clip says it all: Three Words. 

How about this vintage video snippet of the last game in "The Hustler" with Fast Eddie and Fats. Man, you can cut the air with a knife in that pool room: The Last Game.![]()
Color of money has to be one of the best movies ever made. There is just so many real moments a pool player can really appreciate from it. I'm getting goosebumps thinking about Gradys line and how it relates to an actual pool player....but it's so real...almost like someone who had been through the process wrote it just for the few others. Nah...it's just coincidence.![]()
And the person who received no credit for being the technical adviser was?
????????????????????????????????????????? Willie Munson!
He asked me to say, "if you keep using my name, send $100 dollar bills, no checks, to Romine's, http://romineshighpockets.com/."
If I'm lying I'm flying and I ain't got no freaking feathers.
Tap! Tap! Tap! Perfectly said. Paul Newman is still THE MAN!
And Thank You JAM.
You also are a treasure Jenny.
Paul Newman won his first Oscar playing "Fast Eddie" in "The Color of Money," and he is calling it quits in acting: "I'm not able to work anymore as an actor at the level I would want to," Newman, 82, told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Thursday. "You start to lose your memory, your confidence, your invention. So that's pretty much a closed book for me."
Newman was brilliant in "The Hustler," and who can forget "Coolhand Luke," which are just a few of many of his great movies during his career.
In recent times, he is very much involved with his philanthropic venture of spaghetti sauces, salad dressings, cookies, popcorn, and other food items, the proceeds of which all go to charity.
Several years ago, I was doing a live phone feed for ABC. They were conducting an interview with Paul Newman for an upcoming TV show, and me, I was just the lowly transcriptionist recording it, to be transcribed immediately for the producers on a same-day turnaround. Keith was sitting close by listening to the interview, and it was then that he told me how Paul Newman did not attend the Academy Awards for TCOM. Interestingly, Newman backed Keith in a pool game during this era, which is an interesting story in itself.
Looks like a remake of "The Hustler" and/or "The Color of Money" will never happen, unless Tom Cruise becomes a mentor for a new up-and-coming pool player and takes him on the road.![]()
Of course, a pool movie would help give pool a boost in the States, but I can't see it being about hustling in this day and age since road players are darn near extinct; a rare breed, if you will. What do you think would be a good plot for a pool movie in the year 2007? Should it be about the tournament soldier traveling around the world? I think a movie about Alex Pagulayan's life, as an example, would be an excellent movie, his childhood all the way up to being a world pool champion.
Here's Fast Eddie, played by Paul Newman, in "The Color of Money." He will be missed!![]()

I could be wrong ,but i believe it was "Wipe your nose will you julian", since that was turturro's character's name.
Met Newman at the Astoria Studios in Queens in 1976. He was filming Fort Apache the Bronx. I was upstairs working on The Eyewitness with Bill Hurt, James Woods, and a young Morgan Freeman.
He was a gentleman and had the damn bluest eyes I ever did see. It was like looking into the pacific ocean.
This year I went back to the old Astoria studios. It was one of the first movie studios in this country where Chaplin did his stuff.
Shot Men in Black 3 with another giant Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin. Great guys but it was Newman who had this giant charisma about him. They broke the mold went they made him.
