Turner Duckworth Refreshes Newman’s Own

Acclaimed actor Paul Newman and writer friend A. E. Hotchner founded Newman’s Own in 1982, launching with a salad dressing based on the one they’d prepare and gift to friends and family. 

That celebrity dressing turned out to be legit special, not just because of the taste but also because 100% of Newman’s Own post-tax profits go to charity through the Newman’s Own Foundation. Newman’s Own has since expanded into other food categories, such as pasta sauces, frozen pizzas, and cookies like the popular Newman-Os. To date, Newman’s Own has donated $600 million to charities, primarily those supporting kids facing adversity.
