Weekly Reading: Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Recently I read an article in the People magazine devoted to explaining the life of Paul Newman who passed away September 26th. Paul was an actor who appeared in many films throughout his life of 83 years. Some include Hud, Cool Hand Luke, Exodus, and the latest film Road To Perdition. Paul Newman who was married to his wife for 50 years had 5 children all of whom range in age from 43-55, which he dearly loved. Throughout his years of being alive, Paul slowly grew into a big wig actor and began creating an estate of millions of dollars. He became the role model of millions of people and many decided to follow in his footsteps. Over the course of his life Paul has done many things to help charity. He created an organization called Newman's One, which has a line of products that's profits go to handpicked charities supported by him. Paul helped raise over 250 million dollars for these charities, 120 million came from 2007 alone. He also created a camp called Hole in the Wall that was created for poor kids who can attend camp free of charge. These camps have been attended by over 135,000 children, who all got to attend free of charge. Paul Newman has done many great deads in his lifetime and he will be greatly missed by family, friends and people who looked up to him as a role model. Paul Newman will always be remembered and he will never be forgotten.
