Maurin Merder Biography

Morin Merder, namely the name of the plaintiff, became a prototype for creating the image of the main character of the Flashdance film, which was released in the year. It was this film that inspired Jay Lo to create a video clip, which she calls the “tribute of respect” to the original.

The Flashdance film is the story of a woman working as a builder during the day and dancing in the evenings. The picture was very popular and even became a kind of "cultural phenomenon." But the filmmakers paid Morin Merder only $ 2 for her contribution to the picture. The former dancer was disappointed in the film business and forbade the use of the facts of her biography in sequels and, in general, anywhere else.

The video received good reviews of critics and commercial success, but no one asked permission to shoot the clip based on the film, and Morin Merder did not receive a centing of her biography. But she did not receive almost nothing for her contribution, except a small amount of cash that producers gave her. They said that the film was mainly about dancing, and there were no details of Maorin’s personal life.

For the past 20 years, she has been trying to forget about this betrayal, but she has no money, she is disabled to her back injury, and one brings up a teenage daughter. Now the story of her life is again on the screen and again people profit from this, not recognizing her rights, not to mention the payment of compensation for her contribution, ”said the plaintiff's lawyer Robert Helfing.

Robert Helfing also said that Morin Merder tried to settle this case without the intervention of judges, but Jennifer Lopez, and Sony, lost the demand for Marter to pay compensation. The company Paramount generally denies that Moerin has the right to demand money. Everything is still in the development. Journalists have already christened the star pair of Bennifer: everyone is already tired of the protracted Ben and Jen's protracted marriage games.
