playing the role of the woman who had to say a few lines (this is not to say that her speaking parts weren’t extremely significant to the video, because I think they were), flirted and walked alongside Michael Jackson in one of the most popular music videos in the world. I’m not knocking Ola Ray’s contributions to the “Thriller” video at all, because I think she was the perfect person for it and she deserves her $75 grand in my humble opinion. On the flip side, $75K obviously won’t even put a slight dent in MJ’s account, but there are many model/actresses who would have taken a flat rate fee and been happy because they would have been embracing an opportunity of a lifetime by starring in the Thriller video because it would have given their careers a major boost that they still could have benefit from 30 years later. Obviously, Ola Ray had a great team of people around her who weren’t trying to hear a flat fee dollar amount. Instead they made sure she juiced her Thriller appearance for everything it was worthed and we can’t be mad at her for that one bit.

Overall, I’m glad Ola Ray finally got the money she was owed, because the bottom line is a contract is a contract and it must honored. I still love me some Ola Ray!
