Marvel Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 On the lead in to the local news 83... his Newman's Own brand has raised over $2 million for charity ... That's a little low. From the company website:Newman's Own has grown into a powerful and lasting expression of Paul Newman's generosity. The Company has generated over $250 million in proceeds that have been donated by Paul Newman and the Newman's Own Foundation to thousands of charities worldwide.

BLSamuel Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Oops. I bet they said over $200 million as I thought that looked a little low when I typed it. [:$] That's what I get for multi-tasking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Cool Hand Luke is one of my all-time favorite movies. Newman was a wonderful actor, and a great humanitarian. Married for fifty years (to Joanne Woodward), too! He is dearly missed, and my sympathies go to Ms. Woodward and their family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
