For me, the passage of time is marked by the loss of iconic figures. When Katherine Hepburn passed, it was the vestiges of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Newman was from the generation that bridged that gap from the Technicolor Fifties to the Gritty Seventies. He was an authentic actor who happened to be a movie star. He's the only actor who was more beautiful than Elizabeth Taylor on screen.
We just don't have anyone who compares.
