TRIVIA: In the 1960s, Margaret Keane's artwork was sold under the name of her husband, WALTER KEANE (October 7, 1915 – December 27, 2000), who claimed credit for her work. In March 1965, she divorced Walter. Ms. Keane is portrayed by Amy Adams in the 2014 film "BIG EYES", directed by TIM BURTON. In 1970, Margaret Keane announced to the world, via radio broadcast, that she was the true creator of the paintings. The Keanes continued to dispute the origin of the paintings, and after Walter Keane suggested to USA Today that the only reason Margaret claimed she was the painter was that she believed he was dead, she sued him in federal court for slander. At the hearing, the judge ordered both Margaret and Walter to create a big-eyed child painting in the courtroom to determine who was telling the truth. Walter declined to paint before the court, citing a sore shoulder, whereas Margaret completed her painting in a mere 53 minutes. After three weeks of trial, a jury awarded Margaret $4 million in damages.
