Let's take a break from the chaos that is our political scene this week and pay homage to an authentic American, Paul Newman. Newman , one of the finest actors and humanitarians of any generation, died today at the age of 83.
If Paul Newman was in a movie, you knew it would be good. And he kept it real for decade after decade performing a wide range of characters, each of them memorable in their own right. He wasn't one of those actors who succeeded because he played the same character each movie. He could play the good guy, the bad guy, the sentimental guy or the tough one. Every one was believable. And he made everyone else in the movie with him better.
The food company he started as "a lark" with a friend has turned into perhaps the greatest example of cause branding by a company ever. 100 percent of the proceeds from the more than 150 food items manufactured and sold by Newman's Own goes to charity. 100 percent.
