SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 14 – After Linda
Hirschman wrote "Sisters in
Law" about RBG and Sandra Day
O'Connor, she negotiated with
Don Franzen and Elizabeth
Weber about them getting the
rights to adapt it as a play.
But this has been followed by
litigation.
On
September 14 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Talk turned to
Alyssa Milano, to whom
Hirshman sought to sell other
rights. The defendant sent a
cease and desist letter to
Milano's husband Dave
Bugliari, characterized as an
attempt to "destroy Hirshman's
and her business relations'
ability to use, sell or
purchase all of the other
rights."
The case is
Hirshman v. Franzen,
20-cv-6322 (Woods)
