Life Rights
Producers may also purchase the co-operation of a person (or others who know him or her well) if they intend to produce a biography on the person's life. In the case of a person who is deceased, life rights may be secured from the heirs or immediate family (who are customarily regarded as the inheritors of the decedents' life rights).

“It’s hard enough to write a good drama, it’s much harder to write a good comedy, and it’s hardest of all to write a drama with comedy. Which is what life is.”
—Jack Lemmon (b. 1925)
“My dream is that as the years go by and the world knows more and more of America, it ... will turn to America for those moral inspirations that lie at the basis of all freedom ... that America will come into the full light of the day when all shall know that she puts human rights above all other rights, and that her flag is the flag not only of America but of humanity.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
