Elinor 'Nell' Newman and Susan Newman claim Newman's Own Foundation - which was founded by the late actor in 1982 to help various educational and charitable organisations - has been giving less money to good causes and allege there has been a "pattern of disregard" and "mismanagement".

The lawsuit was filed at a court in Connecticut and paperwork from the case obtained by People. com reads: "The years since Mr.
