People didn't take him seriously as an actor because of his looks and his blue eyes. "I picture my epitaph," he once said. "Here lies Paul Newman, who died a failure because his eyes turned brown." But he was a success in film and in business, building Newman's Own, a company with the motto: "Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Good" making all-natural organic food and donating all of the money to charity- $250 million so far. Paul Newman, dead at 83. Longer obit to follow on Planet Green. ::IHT
