Paul Newman 1925-2008Paul Newman not only was a legendary film actor, he also was an avid automobile fanatic who loved cars and racing, he was a humanitarian and an entrepreneur.
Together with Carl Haas, they were co-owners of the Newman-Haas racing squad.
He had his own brand, which many of you might now called Newman's Own, the incredible thing about this one and you can see it on the label picture below, is that all the profits he made from selling his goods, he'd sent them to charity, according to the website, they have already donated around 250 million dollars, to undisclosed charities.
Some of his movies include Hollywood classics, such as, the Color of Money, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Cool Hand Luke, The Sting, some of his late movies include, Road to Perdition and Cars (he was Doc Hudson's voice).
He lost his first born son, Scott Newman, to drug overdose, and subsequently he started the Scott Newman Center for drug abuse prevention.
Although he was married twice, he was a big supporter of monogamy, he was married first in 1949 to Jackie Witte, an had 2 daughters and a son (Scott). They divorced in 1958. Since then, he married actress Joan Woodard, with whom she had 3 daugthers. He was a devoted husband and father, when he got asked about his monogamist lifestyle he'd reply, Why go out for a hamburger, when you have the whole steak at home?
An incredible human being, dead at 83, after a long battle with lung cancer. I leave you with some of his pictures, including two with one of his long time friend Robert Redford.
