Lawsuit could prove there's a difference between the rights enjoyed by
heirs of Marilyn Monroe and Albert Einstein
http://j.mp/KDFs6e (Hollywood Reporter)
Interestingly, this new claim comes just as it was confirmed that
Albert Einstein, one of Monroe's acquaintances in life, has a post
mortem right of publicity. Einstein's rights are controlled by The
Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which is suing General Motors for
using Einstein's image in an advertisement in People Magazine's
"Sexiest Man Alive" issue. The advertisement had Einstein's head on
top of a shirtless male with a tattoo that read, "e=mc" and a caption,
"Ideas are Sexy Too."
