Legal Question
What, if anything, would need to be done to be able base the likeness of a character (for a book cover or a comic book character, for instance) on that of a deceased celebrity? And freely admit to it? I'm wanting to base a character's likeness on a movie actress of the 1940s (not anyone well-known today), and to be able to admit that it is a homage to her. Thank you!
