| NEW YORK (AP) -- Real-life lawyers are taking Calista Flockhart to court. The law firm of Frankfurt, Garbus, Klein and Seltz is suing the star of ``Ally McBeal,'' saying they deserve 5 percent of everything she earns on the hit show because they reviewed and negotiated the contracts that sealed her deal with Fox. Ms. Flockhart, who plays a flighty young lawyer, agreed to 5 percent, the firm said. As of last week, according to the firm, she earned at least $780,000 and owed the attorneys at least $39,000. ``We've tried and tried and tried to resolve this amicably,'' said Maura Wogan, who filed the lawsuit Friday. ``We've been paid absolutely no money.'' Ms. Flockhart's Los Angeles lawyer, Barry Tyerman, said: ``I know nothing about this suit. It's news to me. I know that Frankfurt, Garbus had made some claims, but I thought they had been dropped.'' |
