I'm recycling a blog post here, but I was at the eye doctor's Saturday morning, and the office manager said, "Did you hear? Paul Newman died." To which the 20-something assistant said: "Paul Newman ... was he in the Beatles?"
Listing his most-famous film titles did not help. But she was aware of his salad dressing.

Came here for the Bil Keane post. Was not disappointed.

This made me very sad.

To be fair, the mint Newman's Own Oreos are awesome!
