P1235 The public's fascination with deceased actor Marlon Brando and widespread interest in his personal life made distribution of his assets an issue of public interest, so an action brought by a person named in Brando's will based on the claim that defendant committed various torts by interviewing her and broadcasting part of the interview arose from an exercise of defendant's constitutional right of free speech on a public issue and was therefore covered by the SLAPP statute.CitationHALL v TIME WARNER (Brando's Will) 153 CA4 1337 [See: CCP 425.16; Wilbanks v Wolk 121 CA4 883, T/AT 9/04]
