So they made a movie about Baby Doe in her lifetime and she still died in poverty? They didn't give her a cent of royalty?! 84.0.34.189 (talk) 10:41, 13 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
The movie needs some researching, but a good question. Victoria (talk) 12:05, 13 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
You can't copyright history. Historical figures have no exclusive rights to their life stories, and are owed no royalties from movies or other media depictions. Plazak (talk)
