Hollywood's Legal Eagles; About a Writer

Hosted by Kim Masters Jan. 25, 2010 Entertainment
If we've learned anything from the Leno/Conan debacle, it's the value of a well written contract.  We talk to one entertainment lawyer and find out exactly what he does to earn his 5 percent.  Plus, the author of About a Boy and High Fidelity didn't write the movies based on his novels, but he did write the script to An Education.  Nick Hornby tells us why.
