I love this man so much.
Cool facts about Paul Newman
1. Paul was a part of the March On Washington in 1963 along with Josephine Baker, Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, James Baldwin, Jackie Robinson, Sammy Davis, Jr., Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Diahann Carroll, Lena Horne, Marlon Brando, and James Garner. And he was a huge proponent of civil rights.
2. He was famously faithful to his wife Joanne Woodward. They were in love until death did they part (for 50 years)
3. He started his own business (Newman’s Own Salad Dressing) and he set it up so that all profits would go to various charities. He also made sure that after his death Newman’s Own would continue to always give 100% of profits to charity.
4. Whoopi Goldberg told this story of how the two of them were filming a commercial together somewhere around the 90s. While filming Whoopi became very sick, collapsed and was in this comatose type of state. She said how once she awakened, Paul was sitting at the foot of her hospital bed. He had refused to leave her side until he knew she was ok.
5. Paul had an amazing funny sense of humor. He was a total prankster and he had the perfect way to deal with super fans. Once he was at a charity function and a woman came up to him and asked him to stir her punch with his finger. He reportedly said “I’d be glad to, but I just took it out of a cyanide bottle.“ He had a funny/dark sense of humor.
6. Despite his amazing looks, Paul was the most humble and self deprecating man you could meet.
7. Paul was an amazing actor having been nominated for 9 Oscars. He won 1 for acting. He was given an Oscar for his humanitarian work. And he was given an Oscar for his overall body of work.
8. He also became a race car driver in later years which he had amazing success in. He was a race car driver all the way into his 80s.
