Iranians are not known for their love of American pop culture or movie stars, but this weekend they're mourning Paul Newman.
A major state newspaper took the unusual step of printing a front-page story about Newman's death. Government dailies traditionally trumpet the Islamic Republic's staunch anti-American stance and ignore Western culture.
More liberal independent newspapers also ran front-page articles on the iconic American actor.
The headline in one read, "The end of the last classic star." Another paper mourned, "The end of the blue-eyed kid."
Paul Newman, a humble and talented person. He will forever be in our hearts.
