I came across a Paul Newman tribute post on Trulia Blog’s written by Ronda Allen.
As you may know, Paul Newman passed away on Friday at 83.
It struck a chord with me personally because I recently lost a family member to cancer. Paul Newman was well recognized for his film and acting career where he:
- Acted in 81 films
- Produced 10
- Directed 6
- Wrote 1
- and had guest appearances in 82
As Ronda mentioned in her post, Paul was a dedicated husband (married for 50 years to Joanne Woodward)
Through Paul’s natural food company Newman’s Own, Paul donated $120 million to charity and he also started an international kids’ camp and drug abuse center.
While writing this post, I came across another post about Paul in the Entertainment & Nightlife category written by our very own Roger.
Paul primarily spent his time with his family at his home in Westport, CT and Beverly Hills, CA.
As Roger said, he was a great man and he will be missed.

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
