Saw Newman once driving his Jaguar fast in traffic around Stamford Connecticut.

He was truly a cool dude and after his son's death in 1978, made a real difference with charitable contributions from Newman's Own products.

Great actor and good guy all the way around.

One of the 'good old timers'. Sad to hear but 83 is a pretty good innings and I reckon he made the most of it.. Nice article too.

I have always admired Paul Newman for putting his money to work in such productive ways... His Newman's Own line is high quality stuff and the proceeds go to good causes, win-win
