wrote my favorite book ever. She's a recluse and a little old lady now. And she doesn't seek any public attention, so for her to make the news is rare.

Excerpt:
The author of To Kill A Mockingbird has sued a literary agent she says tricked her into assigning him the copyright on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book.

Harper Lee, 87, says Samuel Pinkus took advantage of her failing hearing and eyesight to transfer the rights and has failed to respond to licence requests.

I loved the book and the movie. I ordered the dvd from Amazon a couple of years ago and watched it again just the other nite.
