Some explanation.
Hit television shows pay writers by the hour or by the show and they don’t pay royalties to famous writers.
My Grandma Bruce became so famous writing a humorous hillbilly parody series by the weekly column for The Index from the week she got married in 1919 until by 1962 the Beverly Hillbillies television show completely appropriated Pa (Jed Clampett) Ma (Granny) Sy Thomas (Jethro Bodine) and Saydee (Donna Douglas as Miss Ellie Mae Clampett)
I am Saydee’s young un from a half mile south of Bug Tussle.
In the Ma and Pa series the series Saydee (my mother) has an un named husband, who was my father.
The Index threatened a law suit but because The Index owned 100% rights to the entire Ma and Pa series, and in 1963 some righteous lawyer somewhere made up a settlement where the Beverly Hillbillies show would pay $400 advance for my Grandma’s book copywrited ONLY in Grandma’s name not even Pa’s, and after the book was published I tell you’uns nothin’ but the truth, prosperity and happiness shown down on Ma Bruce the rest of her born days.
And the show kept sending Pa cartons of Winston cigarettes the entire run.
So that’s why I hate the **** out of grandmothers that betray their grandchildren.
My Grandma made me her literary executor.
Ya’ll come back now, Y’hear?
