Two of Paul Newman’s children are suing the famed Hollywood actor’s foundation, claiming that the leaders of the non-profit have strayed away from the outset goals that their deceased father founded the organisation on.
In the Tuesday filing, daughters Elinor “Nell” Newman and Susan Newman allege that their father’s legacy is “under assault” by the “very organization he founded in an effort to preserve and expand that legacy”, alleging that the board of directors have ignored the Cool Hand Luke actor’s wishes by decreasing the amount of money they receive to be redirected to charities of their choosing.
