The University of Texas at Austin is suing O’Neal to try to gain possession of the portrait. Fawcett left all her artwork to the school and it claims O’Neal improperly took it from her condo days after her death.

The Oscar-nominated actor took the stand for the second time in the trial to assert his ownership of the portrait and why it’s important for him to keep it.

“I talk to it,” O’Neal said. “I talk to her. It’s her presence. Her presence in my life. In her son’s life.”

I understand that.

Some people go and talk to gravestones.

It is a wonderful likeness and it has a “lifelike” quality that I could see as being compelling as a source of comfort.

Warhol mass produced and a repro of his is as good as the original. Let the man have it.

They got all the others. Have a heart. Completely understandable and anyone who says otherwise is just wrong.

The University should have arranged something.
UofT is looking bad over this.

I've got this little number hanging up in my house. I talk to it. It means a lot to me. That means I can keep it, right?

You think that guy has issues? He wants a special picture of his love?

Have you ever lost a loved one?

Agreed.

The “we have a heart” libtard U is showing its real colors (as eventually do all liberals).

They look bad and they deserve to. At the very least, they could make a deal to delay taking possession during his lifetime. Mr. O’Neal may not always be a sympathetic man, but in this case, yes.

The art piece serves its purpose better than it ever could in a museum, it’s a s simple as that. It has emotional appeal for somebody, what more can an artist ask?

Not really, he just uses the picture as a foil because he can’t talk to her directly any more.
I do believe he loves her and misses her.
