Writing a biography

[MrsJ1]

I want to write a biography about an actor who died some years ago but doesnt appear to have been covered by anyone else. Do I need to get someone's permission to do it? and if so, who would I contact? I dont know if there are any family members still alive or whether someone is still handling his estate

You dont HAVE to ask anyone's permission - but if you do write it, you have to put it down as an unauthorised biography.

I dont know how to go about finding out who to contact to see who handles this person's estate, that would probably depend on which country he came from.

Nope, not Chris Quentin but you can keep guessing!
