Paul Newman died today of lung cancer, he was 83. Known for starring in many movies, such as Cool Hand Luke, he is perhaps better known today for his Newman's Own line of products, ranging from the original salad dressing to popcorn. It will be interesting to see for how long the brand will outline the man, but there was a good amount of succession planning done prior to today. His daughter will take over the company. The fact that most know that all profits are donated to charity means that it is still a winning sales pitch.

I was saddened too about this. He was also in another great movie: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
