Paul Newman was a gorgeous man. Looking at the pictures of him that kept popping up last week after he died, I can understand why women drooled over him when he was younger… and perhaps even recently. He has the kind of face you just want to kiss.

But there were a lot more reasons to want to kiss Paul Newman besides those startling blue eyes and sensual lips. Instead of spending his celeb riches on drugs, mansions and overpriced shower curtains, Newman sank it into a business that gave 100 percent of its profits to charity. Everyone who knew him says he was a nice guy, but we don’t need them to tell us that.

What a difference from the Wall Street CEOs who drove their companies (and investors) off a cliff, then waltzed away with millions. Newman never needed a bailout. He bailed out other people in ways that really count.

I will miss him.
