Who do I contact, and at what address, for permission to reprint a
nude centerfold image of Burt Reynolds that appeared in the April 1972
issue of Cosmopolitan magazine?  I want to reprint the image in a book
that I am writing.

Have you already tried contacting Cosmopolitan magazine to see if it
is the proper place to obtain permission?  If not, I'm sure that one
of us would be happy to research this possibility.

Clarification of Question by alice4215-ga on 12 Nov 2003 03:28 PST

No, I have not contacted Cosmopolitan magazine.  I am hoping that you
will be able to provide me with a specific name and address within the
cosmopolitan organization to write to.  I am concerned that a letter
to "the editor-in-chief," for example, will never reach the right
person who is in a position to grant permission to reprint a photo
from more than 30 years ago.

Hello alice4215-ga,

I haven?t found specific contact information, but Cosmopolitan
magazine is published by Hearst ( http://www.hearstmags.com/ ).


I found the following information listed at the Hearst website:

I should add that I did try contacting them by e-mail, but I have not
yet received a response.
