Legendary actor Paul Newman died on Friday after his fight against lung cancer ended. He was eighty-three years old. He was most famous for the films Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Cool Hand Luke. Although he was widely known for his acting talents, he was even more successful with his philanthropy; using Newman's Own salad dressings and organic products to help those in need. However, with his death there are questions that come to mind about the legacy that will be left behind for Newman's Own and whether or not the company can continue without his famous face. It's sad to see such a gifted actor die, especially one that used his fame for the betterment of others.
