Such a lovely tribute to Paul Newman.!!
Definitely one of my favourite actors – I was totally in love with him in his earlier movies and he was just an amazing actor all through his career and such an interesting person all round with all his charity work!
I will miss you Paul Newman!
I’m so sad by this. The world just lost a great man. I’m a big fan all his movies and have always admired his contributions to things other then Hollywood.
Thank you for the nice tribute. We should all take a lesson from this man.

it’s hard not to admire Paul Newman for putting his money to work in such productive ways, such as his Newman’s Own line–high quality stuff and the proceeds go to good causes… very smart.
