(ALBANY, N.Y.) — The names and images of famous New Yorkers including Mickey Mantle, Judy Garland and Malcolm X would be protected from being used for advertising and promotion not authorized by their estates under a measure pushed by Al Pacino and Yoko Ono.</p> <P>New York law already protects the unauthorized use of celebrities' faces and names while they are alive, but there is no safeguard after they die despite a high concentration of entertainment, political and sports legends in and around New York City. The group said New York and Wisconsin are the last states to try to protect the famous dead from exploitation.</p> <P>"I feel like one's likeness and image should be protected in some way and not abused or denigrated for the sake of profit," Pacino wrote to legislators after the estate of Lee Strasberg started talking to him.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7939736B-404A-4575-AC07-A1B995F69092/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
