Summary: Objection To Film Clip (Press, 22 July 1970)
On 20 July 1970, a Cleveland lawyer named Richard Bertsch announced that he had been retained by actress Loretta Young to initiate a lawsuit against 20th Century Fox. The case revolves around the unauthorised use of Young's face and voice in the film "Myra Breckenridge." Bertsch dispatched a telegram to Richard Zanuck, the president of 20th Century Fox, demanding the removal of specific segments from the film that feature Young. This request stemmed from the inclusion of a film clip showcasing Young alongside the deceased Tyrone Power, which was controversially placed in a sodomy scene. Bertsch indicated that if the requested deletions were not made by the following Wednesday, 20th Century Fox would be subject to a slom damage lawsuit for causing irreparable harm to Loretta Young's reputation and character.
