Anyone on Nixon's enemy list is a friend of mine and well done Paul Newman with his charity support.

CJ Kennedy said...

From the list, I knew he hated his first role in "The Silver Chalice". He described it as running around in a cocktail dress.🤣 I loved the film and it's one of my favorite movies.

Oh ye#, I know this and Gregory Peck was on the list as well and he considered this a personal achievement

I think I did know this. I wonder who is going to be on the next White House enemies list if the election goes wrong. I have a feeling half the country will be!

How amazing. Paul Newman was very generous. I never liked Nixon, but in comparison to He who must not be named he was an angel. Hugs, Valerie

Jeanie, Unfortunately, I agree.

I didn't know that but it doesn't surprise me either. I bet the lists are longer now! Nice for the donation :)

Truedessa said...

I didn't realize how much has been donated. I do purchase his products on occasion knowing the money is donated. Its a wonderful act of kindness.

Sandra Cox said...

True, He was pretty inside and out, wasn't he?
