Paul Newman is a movie star and a hero too. America greatly admires his acting skills but dare I say it he may have achieved even more acclaim as an American Hero. Paul Newman, with his friend AE Hotchner, started the food empire Newman’s Own that has donated over $ 200 million dollars
to provide camps in America and abroad for children with cancer and other serious illnesses. Paul Newman also uses the profits from his company for philanthropic donations to over 2,000 other worthy causes. Newman’s Own donates all after tax profits to charity. Paul Newman is a hero and a role model for the younger generations. Newman’s company sells his brand of salad dressing, pasta sauce, lemonade, popcorn, salsa, steak sauce, and wine. For me it just isn’t summer without his lemonade and the balsamic vinaigrette dressing for salads. I love buying a product that tastes great and whose profits are donated to help kids. I also laugh at the whimsical labels with a drawing of Paul Newman’s face on the products such as the salad dressing and pasta sauce. It feels great to use products that help good deeds occur. Paul Newman turned his business idea into a success and donated the profits to help others. He is a true hero. Kudos to Paul Newman and AE Hotchner; they found the time and energy to create an empire that has helped untold numbers of children in America and abroad. The first product sold, salad dressing, was marketed at Stew Leonard’s grocery store in Norwalk, CT. If you are near this area the store is worth a visit. It is a unique shopping experience. There are a lot of entertainment features built into the store. When I lived in Norwalk it was the only place I shopped for groceries. A friend and I used to shop there together after work and laugh endlessly at the whimsical displays in the store. We also loved the vegetarian chili ! Paul Newman is not only a hero he seems like a down to earth guy. When I lived in CT a friend lived in the same town he did and she told me she would see him shopping in the farm market. Despite my frequent forays to that nearby town I never did see him.
