As would be expected, the benefit organized by Paul Newman, prior to is death, the annual fundraiser that supported The Painted Turtle, a camp for children with life-threatening illnesses, was this year attended by all the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, somewhat dressed down!
The Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid star raised $250million over the years for the charity and when he passed away last month at the age of 83, his annual fundraiser was turned into a tribute to Newman.
The Oscar-winning cast of the tribute included Bruce Willis, Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn, Tom Hanks, all hosted by Julia Roberts at San Francisco’s Davies Symphony Hall.

Each of the Hollywood stars gave a reading and before her’s Roberts said, “This is the first time we are doing this without Paul, there is a void there, without a doubt. This is more sweet than bitter, we are all here for him.”
The day wasn’t just given over to readings, as singer Bonnie Raitt performed “Put a Little Love Into Your Heart,” which she dedicated to Newman.
