The media rumour mill has it that director,
Steve McQueen, and screenwriter, John Ridley, have fallen out over credits
regarding their Oscar-winning movie, “12 Years a Slave”.
If that is true it’s a
shame that something which should be a monumental life achievement for them
both has been tarnished by what could appear to many as egotistical petty-mindedness.
As a ghostwriter the twin subjects of professional credit and extreme ego-management
are of particular interest to me.
Harry Truman is believed to have
said “You can accomplish anything in life provided you don’t mind who gets the
credit”.
