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.
Newman, an Academy Award-winning actor known for movies like "Cool Hand Luke" and "The Hustler," also founded a food product company that used his name and likeness on items like salad dressing. Before he died in 2008 from lung cancer and leukemia, he created the Newman's Own Foundation, which donates money to charities by selling products under his "Newman's Own" brand.
Newman granted the foundation rights to his name, image and likeness – but not unconditionally. The one condition was that the foundation allocate $400,000 each year to each of his "Daughters' Foundations." His daughters say they were supposed to direct a portion of the donations each year.

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
