Paul Newman died of cancer last Friday at age 83. He was an icon of American film, founded a line of all-natural foods way before "Organic" was cool (and donated $250 million to charity in the process), and earned a spot on Nixon’s enemies list, a distinction he called “the highest single honor I’ve ever received.”
Known for his Oscar worthy roles in such movies as The Hustler, The Verdict, Nobodys Fool, The Color of Money (for which he did win an Oscar), and Floatys personal favorite movie OF ALL TIME, Cool Hand Luke.
The anti-hero to whom you felt a connection.
Blue eyes that could penetrate you right to your core. He was not just an actor but a man who served a great purpose in his life with his charities to aid children. He was given a fortune and used it to help those less fortunate and over the course of his lifetime raised over $250 million to serve his cause.
The world is a better place because of Paul Newman. He will be missed.
