NAMES IN THE NEWS : 2nd Newman Trial Starts in Week

Paul Newman’s legal rematch begins with jury selection next Wednesday in Bridgeport, Conn. The actor and businessman is being sued by Westport deli owner Julius Gold, who wants a share of Newman’s food business because he claims he helped develop it. The first trial, which featured testimony from Newman himself, ended in a mistrial in 1988 after jurors were inadvertently given documents that had been ruled inadmissible. Newman denies that Gold helped develop his salad dressing or that he was promised a cut of the Newman’s Own company profits. Newman donates profits from his food business, which also includes popcorn and spaghetti sauce, to various charities.
