Look Who’s Settling: Tri-Star Pictures has settled a copyright-infringement lawsuit in Los Angeles with two writers who charged that the film company and writer Amy Heckerling plagiarized the premise for the 1989 multimillion-dollar smash film “Look Who’s Talking.” Writers Jeanne Meyers and Rita Stern filed suit against Tri-Star 18 months ago, claiming the plot for the movie was lifted from a 1984 student film they created titled “Special Delivery.” Terms of the May 13 settlement remain confidential, but Tri-Star attorney Louis M. Meisinger told the Times Friday that his client admitted no wrongdoing: “All we can say is that the matter has been amicably resolved between the parties.”
