Daughter: Newman liked pratical jokes
DATELINE Nell Newman's father died a year ago at age 83. She says he
considered himself lucky and wanted to give back, leading to his
passion for philanthropy.
His daughter gave a rare glimpse into the actor's life Monday in
an interview with The Associated Press. Her company, Newman's Own
Organics, is highlighting its partnership with McDonald's Corp.,
where it sells coffee.
She says her father enjoyed practical jokes and liked turning up
on President Nixon's enemies list. She says he also preferred the
company of race car mechanics to the Beverly Hills jet set.
Her company and Newman's Own have given $250 million to
charities.
