(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.

I am still trying to figure out what it means to worship a brutal, uncaring and hateful creation called "god."Have you figured out the opposite?

They are trying to field the multiude of offers.

And the Smarts have said... Just like the Smarts said they were sure Richard Ricci was involved. Just like the Smarts said Neth Moul was credible. Just like the Smarts said Mary Katherine suddenly remembered Emmanuel in October. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. The compendium of Smart quotes boggles the mind.

Of course, if you'd rather just call me names than defend your position, that's fine. Funny that you didn't post my original quote just as I posted yours. It was you who called me a moron. I was simply completing what appears to be a lovely name.

We'll let God Himself decide between us. But what if the Mrs. disagrees with Him?

Why does the LDS Motion Picture Studio reside in such a guarded atmosphere? At first thought, it doesn't seem like the kind of place that needs James Bond antics. Bill Schaefermeyer, the director of the LDS Motion Picture Studio, wouldn't comment on MPS's current projects, and he wouldn't comment on how much money each project costs. Secrecy seems to define the studio. Maybe it's because the studio is just a cover for a wholly different LDS activity...like protecting the Earth from UFOs or something.

Funny. The "Enquirer" is sued regularly. Yet they keep doing things that get them sued.
Being sued and having judgements awarded to plaintiffs are different things. My sense is that plaintiffs are rarely successful in such suits. The plaintiffs, typically celebrities, often sue for appearance's sake.
To: Hildy
LOL That's a good pic! I definitely don't think you're a drama queen! I hope you would know that after all this time. :)

The Enquirer typically settles. I can't think of a single lawsuit brought against them that has been dismissed.

This is very sad. Why is the father doing this to her? Why is he planning to exploit her ordeal? This is just TOO MUCH. Please let the girl just get on with her life, and move away from that horrible ordeal.No this is a pre emptive strike..a mormon doing the deal protects his church and his daughter..There will be no unauthorized movies..AND much of the truth will be glossed over and hidden ..
You will not see that the man was a wanna be LDS prophet ..
