Evelyn Kuhn Sues Over Image Used In Stella Artois Ads (PHOTOS)

Sixties top model Evelyn Kuhn is suing after an old photograph of her was used in a Stella Artois advertisement, the New York Post reports. Kuhn is seeking $7 million from Corbis Images, which held the rights to the 1963 image used in Stella's March campaign.

Take a look and check out some of Kuhn's old work below.

I doubt very much if any model owns these rights.
They all sign releases at the time.

Thats not true. A top model of her time, i.e. Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, etc, would almost certainly NOT sign a model release that allowed for promotional or commercial use of their likeness. Maybe things were different in the 60s though.

You need to update your slide show technology programming - doesn't work correctly on macs or ipads or better yet, you can place more than one photo on a page - the whole slideshow thing reeks of old web technology like Flash.
