The Legacy of Newman's Own Organics
Nell Newman shares the story behind Newman's Own Organics, which she started in 1993 with a line of organic food products, beginning with pretzels being her dad's favorite snack food. The idea originated from Paul Newman desiring to make his own salad dressing and give the profits to charity. Despite starting small with 30,000 cases sold for $890,000, dad felt guilty keeping the money and donated it all, later incorporating a subtle charity note on the label.
The Remarkable Journey of Paul Newman's Rolex Watches
Paul Newman's Rolex watches become legendary: the first watch, a gift from his wife with an inscription, worn for 30 years and later found to be a valuable Paul Newman Rolex, was auctioned for over $17 million. A second watch, almost given to his daughter Nell, went missing in a robbery but was later replaced, known to have sold for millions as well. The journey reflects Paul Newman's legacy of humility and philanthropy, with proceeds benefiting charitable causes.
