Creating one of the most enduring of Hollywood marriages, Hollywood stars Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward wed. The couple became politically active, lobbying for liberal causes and supporting Democratic candidates. Newman was appointed by President Jimmy Carter to serve on a United Nations Conference on Nuclear Disarmament. In the 1980s, Newman launched a line of food products, including salad dressing and pasta sauce, donating the profits to charity. Both Newman and Woodward have won Academy Awards: Woodward in 1957 for The Three Faces of Eve, and Newman in 1986 for The Color of Money.
