Newman gives $10m to his college

Hollywood star Paul Newman is donating $10m (£5m) to start a scholarship fund at the US college he attended.

The 82-year-old, who recently announced his retirement from acting, graduated from Kenyon College in 1949 with a degree in drama and economics.

The actor's donation will find up to 20 students per year, who will be known as Newman's Own scholars.

The nine-time Oscar nominee has donated more than $175m (£88.3m) to charity through food products bearing his name.
