Tribute to Paul Newman (via NewmansOwnFoundation)

Paul Newman was, frankly, an amazing person.

He was born in Shaker Heights, a suburb of Cleveland, served in WWII, performed on Broadway, became one of the most famous and well-respected Hollywood actors of all time, got on Nixon’s “enemies list”, became a successful racecar driver, started a successful food products company that donates all profits to charity, co-founded a camp for seriously ill children, and the list goes on. I have to stop here, because several books could be written about his philanthropic efforts alone, not to mention his impressive acting career.
