(AP) Elizabeth Smart's family has hired a Los Angeles entertainment attorney to help them screen movie and book proposals about Elizabeth's abduction and remarkable return.
Kelly Crabb, who reportedly has negotiated contracts for Paul McCartney, Dave Matthews and Muhammad Ali, was hired a week ago, said Chris Thomas, the family's spokesman.
According to his firm's Web site, Crabb's areas of practice include motion picture, television and other programming production and financing; composer agreements, personal appearances and motion picture distribution.
"These kind of contracts are very specialized," Thomas said.
Crabb received bachelor's and master's degrees from Brigham Young University before earning a law degree from Columbia University in 1984. He also worked for the Salt Lake Organizing Committee.
Elizabeth, now 15, was abducted from her bedroom on the night of June 5. On March 12, she was found in a Salt Lake suburb with her alleged kidnappers.

Ahh, I can see the future clearly now. Elizabeth's first CD, "Mormon Chick Yo!" drives Britney right off the charts.

This is SO disgusting. How much more is that girl going to be exploited? I feel as if I should go take a shower.

One of the lesser - but no less appreciated - benefits of the Iraq war is that both we and the Smart Family have been spared from the 24x7 'All Elizabeth, All the time' media frenzy. Thank God that this pool girl is now safe.
Let's leave them in peace.
To: mewzilla
No kidding.
I've called CPS for alot less.

There is something really really wrong about this family.
.
I don't even have to think about this... I would NEVER, EVER do what they are doing. Exploitation ! They make me sick.

I'm shocked! Shocked and surprised, I tell you!
I just didn't see this one coming at all!
To: Hillary's Lovely Legs
They really have no choice.
The movies of the week are gonna get made with or without them.
By negotiating the best deal they can on an "Authorized Version" they can have some control over how the story is done, possibly even get script aproval rights.
