Pyrrhic Suit?

If you dug up my list of "things I'd tell the whole world", one thing that's missing is "inspiration for a sadistic psychotic Stephen King character". Can't say it's occurred to me to want to claim imt.

It takes all kinds, I guess:

Stephen King is the master of the macabre, and he often writes about scary women. One of his scariest was "Annie Wilkes", the unforgettable sadistic nurse played by Kathy Bates in the 1990 movie, "Misery." Now in a federal lawsuit obtained by "CJ", a freelance writer from New Jersey claims she's the real Annie.

In the lawsuit, Anne Hiltner claims "Psycho Nurse Wilkes" is a caricature based on her, and she accuses King of "invasion of privacy."

Y'know, after the odyssey of this past couple of weeks - with Freepers and DUllards and moonbats, oh, my besieging the site in recurrent waves - the whole notion of fame has taken a real hit...
