Hollywoodland Take Note
Filed under: Inspiration
Paul Newman shows how philanthropy should be done.
Discreetly and generously!
According to reports, the ailing legendary actor turned over the entire value of his ownership in Newman’s Own — the company that makes salad dressing and cookies — to charity.
The turnover was completed over a two-year period in 2005 and 2006.
The total amount of his donations to Newman’s Own Foundation Inc. comes to $120 million.
The source also reports that the actor personally gave away $8,746,500 in 2006 to a variety of groups that support children, hurricane relief in the Gulf Coast, education and the arts.
Such a class act.
Why can't everyone in Hollywoodland be like him?
Get well soon, Paul!!!

He is the best. Thanks, Perez for the star treatment. He can eat 50 eggs, but I would hate to see him with that crap dripping down his lip…
First?
That is great
God bless you, Mr. Newman! Please get well soon!
Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward…what a class act they both are!!!! Get well soon Paul!!!
he was the most beautiful , sexiest, hottest man ever created in his younger years.
It is refreshing to see a celebrity/actor give back to the people who's love for them made them successful……
He's better at this than Brad and Angie and he doesn't brag about it!
Now this is a class act. Those who idealize Brangelina, et. al., can take a lesson from him. Quietly, with dignity, and totally faithful to one woman.
This is class personified.
Paul Newman is a true mench. All of our new "stars" could take a lesson in humanity and humility from him.
Perez
Lately you've been posting charities and causes, but my guess is you donate nothing. You just want more posters.
Get a real job maybe in Cuba.
That's so awesome! It's great to read something postitive someone is doing.
Re: JR –
huh? He left his wife for Joanne woodward. lol
I often wonder what celebrities do with all their money. How much shit does a person really need? Bravo to Mr Newman for being so generous and doing it quietly! I don't doubt the good intentions of celebs like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, but such public generosity can seem insincere, even if it's not.
This guy exactly proves why we don't have any genuine movie STARS anymore; this guy is a legend; do you think Jack Black or Brad Pitt are legendary, Tom Cruise? Will Smith? yikes…
Hollywood can be like him, Perez, and it can start with you.
Well done, Paul Newman. Very well done. XOXOXO
Thank you
I have always adored this guy. Wonderful actor, even more wonderful human being….there is no one better. I wish him the very best and will pray for recovery for him, for his family and loved ones…. and for US…the world just can't do without Paul Newman.
Perez…I've had my doubts about you. But you prove today underneath all that silliness you have your priorities in order and your heart in the right place.
Exactly Rob; this guy is a legend. We have no true stars; who will go down as legends? Brad Pitt? Tom Cruise? Jack Black? Will Smith? YIKES…
EDWARD SHORE IN RHODE ISLAND IS CHEATING ON HIS WIFE AGAIN.
Sending Love and Energy to Paul
What amazing human beings he and Joann have been all these years. He had spent his youth in the lime light and in turn has given everything back. We could all learn something from people like him.
There is no one else like him. He is old school and a class act.
Other stars are too busy pushing their fucking cults or showing their pussies or jumping on couches to give any money to charity or do anything that doesn't benefit themselves.
Always great to see people giving back. Classy guy. Wish him and his family all the best.
somthing you know nothing about if you are not putting rude names on little girls;;'you are making up crap,, you mouth knows its place about belt high your mouth should NEVER say the word class
FYI- His publicist told E! the lung cancer rumors are not true….
He is an amazing person and a fine actor. I will forever buy his products, especially the lemonade and his salad dressings. May God bless you, Mr. Newman. Get well.
Now this is CLASS. Oprah, the Queen of ostentatious and very public giving, could learn a thing or two. Oh, I FORGOT: she has no class.
i love this man. god bless him, i will be praying for Mr. Newman. All those celubutards—male and female alike should take note.
guess what? we have no idea what a lot of other celebrities donate to charities. not all of them speak about it. So now are we just assuming that most don't donate a lot of money since they don't speak about it? Then if they did speak about it and promote it, people would take issue with that and think they were just doing it for the publicity. No one can win! Sad world full of some crazy ass pathetic people.
Perez could learn something from Paul. Paul is wonderful and brings kindness and goodness to the world. Look how Paul is respected and admired and is confident in himself BECAUSE he is a good person.
Perez you could learn alot from him because all you bring to the world is the complete opposite of Paul. You can loose all the weight you want and take a shower but the fact is your true uglyness comes from within…because you focus on all the bad and ugly and find a sick sense of satisifaction in making people feel worse and exagerating ugly stories. You dont even deserve to have Paul on your site…that is how much better he is than you!
They don't make them like that anymore.
Mr. Newman's rep, today, has unequivocably denied these rumors of his ailing health. Mr. Newman is an aged gentleman, but his representatives say that these are, just that, rumors. That is straight from the authority on the gentleman, not from a speculative rumor mill.
PEREZ YOU SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THIS YOURSELF, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU FELT COMPELLED TO TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARITY AND POLITICAL DONATIONS AND TOO YOUR OWN FUCKING HORN?
YOU HAVE NO CLASS BUT LOTS OF ASS!
What a great American. He and his wife are such an exemplary pair, and every other couple in Hollywood should emulate them.
He's always shown how it should be done. And he's one of the best and hottest actors ever.
Because he knows that you can't take it with you. Old school actors have big hearts…get well Paul.
Thanks to Paul Newman for being such a class act…
Reach out and help others!
I am glad you are so respectful of the wonderful things he has done.
Maybe you will remember Paul Newman the next time you are bragging about the fame-whoring, never-without-a-camera-crew (and probably lighting and makeup people as well) charity efforts of those frauds, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Madonna. Publicity anyone? How freakin' transparent can you be.
Paul Newman is a class act.
Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Madonna are only using charity dollars to buy publicity.
yeah takes notes Angelina and Brad. This guy has class.
he has always been a class act! there are only a few people in hollywood that even come close to Paul and his wife Joanne. Oprah winfrey is not one of them
