Paul Newman's daughters are suing the Newman Foundation

Two of Paul Newman's daughters have filed a lawsuit against the Newman's Own Foundation, alleging that the charity has gone against their late father's wishes by not giving enough funds to charitable organizations of their choosing.
Newman, the celebrated actor, started Newman's Own food company in 1982. Its first product was oil and vinegar salad dressing, created by Newman and his friend A. E. Hotchner, a writer and editor. The dressing was a hit, and the pair decided to give the proceeds to charity.
Today, Newman's Own makes a variety of products, including lemonade, popcorn, Newman-Os cookies and more. Newman created the Newman's Own Foundation in 2005, three years before his death, to donate the profits from Newman Own's products to charities, with a focus on helping children in need. The foundation says over $570 million has been donated to thousands of organizations over the years.
