$1-MILLION ‘GOLDEN POND’ SUIT FILED

Katharine Hepburn and the widow of Henry Fonda have sued the company that made the Oscar-winning movie “On Golden Pond” for at least $1 million in a dispute over profits from the film.

The suit was filed Tuesday in Superior Court and seeks $1 million in punitive damages and other unspecified damages. It accuses ITC Films Inc. and ITC Entertainment Ltd., both American subsidiaries of the British Associated Communications Corp. Ltd., of breach of contract.

Shirlee Fonda joined the suit as the executrix of her late husband’s estate. He and Hepburn co-starred in the 1982 film, winning Oscars for their performances.

Also named as plaintiffs in the suit are IPC Productions Inc., Sunstreet Productions and Mark Rydell Productions.
