And the world to read the original coming to America story. Pete Alveda king is the books author and Fox NEWS contributor. She joins us now. Thank you. So much for being here, youve done so many things with your life. I had no idea about this novel talk to us about how it your coming to America story. As a young woman, I was writing romance novels. This is the book. This is exactly what it looks like. I dont know. If anybody can see it, but there it is okay, PETE yep, so I wrote a story about an arab prince, because I was very fascinated with the fight between the Christians and the Arabs and everything, and I wanted to put it as fiction. So I actually wrote the book and I met Eddie Murphy in the early 1980s, mid 1980s and Mayor Andrew Youngs Office in Atlanta, and I talked to him about it, showed him the manuscript.

I felt comfortable, because I thought I had full copyright protection id had copyright proof of access and similarity. So I even said you know it: doesnt have to be an arab prince. It could be an african prince and we talked and he smiled now I continued to contact Eddie Murphy and then, when Paramount pictures was announcing later there was going to be a movie. I wondered if its going to be like my story, I found out a writer in Hollywood also had accessed the manuscript, so thats the story of it, but im not bitter because there was a lawsuit, and all of that I did not prevail and, on the other hand, all these thirty years later, im just happy, maybe that I helped inspire a great movie, will and really quick Alveda. What did the court say? As you mentioned, there was a legal battle between you and Paramount. What did the court say? The court said theres no new thing under the sun, so all the

copyright laws of the United States of America changed on the case. I was married at the time so today the as I say, and even there was a loophole, there was a one night stand and the baby was allowed to live. Thats all ill say is so, like I say laughter I enjoyed the movie. I really did, and I had a lot to do with it, so I invite people to read the story that inspired coming to America. Jedediah Al Vealed, a da ive, got to ask you for some add vice. I would be a little bitter im not going to lie. How do you manage when something like that happens to you? You had to feel like something was stolen to you for just a second. But how do you Mack to concern manage to transfer that to a positive attitude? Love we want things to be better. I believe creativity comes from

God. We should share so im, not bitter, but you know I inspired a great movie laughter.
