Paul Newman tried to make this a better place...

Civil rights event with Paul Newman and Aunt Faye...

I grew up hearing many great things about Paul Newman, most important to me that he worked on race and civil rights causes for those not as fortunate as himself. My great Aunt Faye was a fellow actress and worked with him on some of these issues. At the time, standing up for civil rights issues said so much more about the person than it does today. I think we take for granted what was achieved only fifty short years ago. Todays actors make so much and touch so many more.... yet, I feel a lack of connectedness and purpose from todays stars. So much power just wasted...
