Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman

The world knows Paul Newman as an Academy Award winning actor with a fifty-plus year career as one of the most prolific and revered actors in American Cinema. He was also well known for his philanthropy; Newman's Own has given more than four hundred and thirty million dollars to charities around the world.

Not bad for a guy who didn't even start racing until he was forty-seven years old.
