Jack Scalia to Sue Jordache Jeans - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 01-04-2010, 07:47 PM

He's still got "the Jordache look" -- but says they don't have permission to use it.

Actor Jack Scalia yesterday filed a $5 million-plus suit against the Jordache jeans company for recycling a picture of him from its inaugural 1979 ad campaign.

Scalia's Manhattan federal court filing says he recently discovered his youthful image staring back at him from "hang tags" attached to the company's retro denim pants.

The tags feature Scalia, who went on to become an Emmy-nominated "All My Children" star, posing with another man and woman -- all clad in nothing but tight-fitting bluejeans.

Scalia's suit says his deal with Jordache was cut by Ford Models and only allowed the clothing company "to employ Scalia's well-known visage in limited forms of advertising for a limited time period."

Jordache lawyer Robert Spiegelman said, "This is a controversy over a 30-year-old photograph in which nobody could possibly recognize Mr. Scalia and which we believe we have a right to use."

Does he really want to draw attention to the fact that he used to pose for pictures like that?
