As many of you are aware, Connecticut’s own Paul Newman passed away over the weekend. He will be greatly missed by all. His movies were enjoyable to watch but what defined him more was his charitable work– Newman founded Newman’s Own, a successful food company he built from the ground up, which gives 100% of its proceeds to charity. Newman also started The Hole in the Wall Gang Camps, an organization for terminally ill children. Although nominated many times for an Oscar, he finally won Best Actor for The Color of Money in 1987.
Here is a list of Newman’s movies which are available at Perrot:
- The Color Of Money
- The Towering Inferno
- Slap Shot
- Cool Hand Luke
- Exodus
- Road To Perdition
- The Hustler
- The Sting
