Schwarzenegger, Clintons React to Newman's Death


Prominent political names are also grieving the loss of Paul Newman. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bill and Hillary Clinton share their reactions with ET.

"Paul Newman was the ultimate cool guy who men wanted to be like and women adored," Arnold tells ET. "He was an American icon, a brilliant actor, a Renaissance man and a generous but modest philanthropist.

Arnold adds: "He entertained millions in some of Hollywood's most memorable roles ever, and he brightened the lives of many more, especially seriously ill children, through his charitable works. Paul was one of a kind. The beloved film star will be missed by a world of fans and admirers. Maria and I send our thoughts and prayers to his wife, Joanne Woodward, his entire family and his many friends."

And Bill and Hillary Clinton tell us: "Paul was an American icon, philanthropist and champion for children. We will miss our dear friend, whose continued support always meant the world to us. Our prayers and thoughts are with Joanne and the Newman family and the many people who Paul impacted through his endless kindness and generosity."
