Michael Jackson estate settles lawsuit over Thriller music video extra

The executives of Michael Jackson's estate have agreed to hand over £34,375 to a woman who appeared in the King of Pop's Thriller music video.

Ola Ray launched a breach of contract lawsuit against Jackson and his production company in May, 2009, claiming she was still owed profits for her work on the 13-minute video, which was released three decades ago.

And now executors have reached a settlement with Ray, also offering to pay her legal team £12,500 to cover the cost of their lengthy court battle, according to TMZ.com.
