R.I.P.: Pat Hingle

Pat Hingle, the veteran actor with more than half a century of impressive work in theater, film and television who was perhaps best known to a generation of movie fans as Commissioner James Gordon in the first four "Batman" films, has died. He was 84.
He wasn't a household name, but his solid, broad, hang-dog screen face became a household image. On film, he worked with stars ranging from Clint Eastwood to the Muppets. He was Sally Field's father in "Norma Rae" and Warren Beatty's in "Splendor in the Grass." He played the bartender who needles Marlon Brando about his former prize-fight style in "On the Waterfront," and he was the sadistic crime boss who terrorizes Anjelica Huston with a bag of oranges in "The Grifters."

Newman Remembered...

“Paul Newman played many unforgettable roles. But the ones for which he was proudest never had top billing on the marquee. Devoted husband. Loving father. Adoring grandfather. Dedicated philanthropist...Always and to the end, Dad was incredibly grateful for his good fortune. In his own words: 'It’s been a privilege to be here.' He will be profoundly missed by those whose lives he touched, but he leaves us with extraordinary inspiration to draw upon. During this difficult time, we ask for privacy for our family.” - Paul's five daughters - three with Joanne Woodward: Elinor, Melissa and Claire as well as Stephanie and Susan from his marriage to Jacqueline Witte.

"There is a point where feelings go beyond words. I have lost a real friend. My life—and this country—is better for his being in it." — Robert Redford

"It is a real loss not just for me, but all the people in the world who knew him and that he connected with. Paul touched so many lives and mine especially -- we were friends for over 50 years." - A.E. Hotchner, Paul's longtime friend and business partner

"I was blessed to have known him. The world is better because of him. Sometimes God makes perfect people and Paul Newman was one of them." - Sally Field

"Paul was a very fine actor and a really good race driver. But mostly, he personified humanity -- always taking care of those who were less fortunate. For me, this will be his legacy." - David Letterman

"He was my hero." - Julia Roberts

"He set the bar too high for the rest of us. Not just actor, but all of us." - George Clooney

Fox: Blatant Censors & Slanderers

Not only did Fox blatantly censor Sally Fields Emmy award acceptance speech; they did it with malice...and proved that they are Bush cronies, biased newscasters and unethical journalists.
Furthermore, they allowed and seem to have a close personal relationship with disgusting, unproffessional right-wing blogger Michelle Malkin who makes personal attacks against Fields...
the story is HERE

Fox is absolutely disgusting...hypocritical a-holes...
