64. Which heart throb of the 1950s and 1960s said about his career in later life that, "The embarrassing thing is that the salad dressing is out-grossing my films"?
From Quiz Mixed Celebrities Number Two
Answer:
Paul Newman
Paul Newman (1925-2008) was not only one of Hollywood's most sought after stars during the height of his career, he was also a director, astute business man, ordained minister, raced cars at a professional level, founded racing teams on the side, and created a food production company, the net profits of which he donated to charity. He was the complete package in other words. Of his acting skills, he won many awards, including an Academy Award for the 1986 movie "The Colour of Money" in which he plays a one time pool hustler who misses the action so much that he goes back on the road again.
In 1982, Newman established his food production company "Newman's Own". By the year 2010, from the net profits of this venture after tax, he had donated $300 million dollars to charity. That's pretty amazing. The most famous of these products was his salad dressing, hence the above quote. A major beneficiary of Paul Newman's generosity and big heart is The Hole in the Wall Gang Camps. These are a series of summer camps for seriously ill children, and named as such after the gang of outlaws in another of his most popular films, the 1969 "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". Such is the popularity of this organisation that some 13,000 deeply ill children are able to have a residential holiday in these fun-filled camps every year. How heart-warming is that?
