Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which movie legend donated the profit from the sale of his salad dressings to charity?"
Newman's Own is a food company founded by the late actor Paul Newman and author A. E. Hotchner. The brand started in 1982 with a homemade salad dressing that the pair prepared themselves and gave to friends as gifts. The successful reception of the salad dressing led Newman to commercialize it for sale. Little did they know that their company would go on to have a major impact on millions of people’s lives. The company gives 100% of the profits from the sale of its products to charity. According to the Newman's Own Foundation website, over $500 million has been generated for charity since 1982.
