Re: Paul Newman

I too enjoyed Paul Newman's films, 'Hud' 'Butch' and the original 'Hustler' being amongst my favourites. Perhaps a lesser known fact, is about the man's personal life. All the profits from the sales of his various salad dressings etc. were given 'quietly' to charity. He started around a dozen country camps in America called "Hole in the Wall" for children with serious health problems. By the time he died, the profits given to charity amounted to over $250M. The legacy continues. So, I would say his passing is a milestone worth marking, the man being due some respect. RIP Mr. Newman.
