Just a few months after George Carlin passed away, now Paul Newman joins George as the next great to drive the expressway to heaven. Such distinct voices and personalities that will be very tough for Pixar to replace for Cars 2. It is easy to say that millions of fans are sad about the news. Newman's Doc Hudson was to have a larger role in the sequel. Again, how does John Lasseter deal with the loss of such a beloved and distinct actor? A voice double? A patching of Newman's own words by computer magic? Only time will tell. For now, remember why Doc went to Radiator Springs and I think you'll get a bit of insight into Paul Newman. Because as Doc told Lightning, "These are good folk around here, who care about one another. I don't want 'em depending on someone they can't count on."
The world could certainly count on Paul Newman! His Newman's Own company contributed over $200 million dollars to charities and allowed him to start his Hole In The Wall Gang Camps for kids with serious illnesses. I strongly suggest you read more about them at this link Hole In The Wall Gang.
As I said with the passing of Carlin, they may be able to imitate Paul Newman, but he was certainly an "Original" they won't match. His talents and unique personality will be terribly missed.
