I know when everyone thinks of Tim Curry, their mind immediately goes to his performance in The Rocky Horror Picture Show but I’m weirdly obsessed with his turn as the diabolical Cardinal Richelieu in The Three Musketeers. Anyways, that’s two greats gone in the span of 24 hours.

I read one time about this journalist who went to interview Paul Newman in his old age, and he said that Newman was extremely sweet and lovely for someone who hadn't heard the word "no" in twenty years. It has really stuck with me.
