Two of Paul Newman's daughters are suing his Newman's Own Foundation, alleging that 'mere days after his death, those Mr. Newman had entrusted with the stewardship of his legacy turned on him.'
Two of Paul Newman's daughters are suing the Newman's Own Foundation, a philanthropic endeavor founded by their late father. In the suit, Newman's daughters Susan Newman and Nell Newman allege those in charge of the foundation have ignored philanthropic endeavors and are not giving enough to charities.
The daughters allege Newman's business manager, Brian Murphy, and his adviser, Robert Forrester, had a pattern of"ignoring, contradicting and/or disregarding Mr. Newman's stated intentions and desires for his legacy." They also allege Murphy and Forrester's plans to disregard Newman's wishes began prior to his death.
Newman often stated that at least one or more of his daughters should always serve on the foundation's board, but under Forrester and Murphy's leadership, only one daughter served on the board for a period of time and with limited responsibilities and access, the suit alleges. They are now seeking $1.6 million in damages, which will be donated to charity, and a declaratory judgment that mandates the foundation to abide by Paul Newman's wishes.
