A Paycheck is a Paycheck!

It's been 26 years since Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video was released, and the woman who played his love interest is just now filing a lawsuit claiming she hasn't been paid her share of royalties.

And judging by these pics, she could get some extra work on any future Planet Of The Apes movies!

TMZ.com reports that Ola Ray is suing Jackson and his production company to receive her cut of profits from the groundbreaking 13 minute clip, in which her character watches her boyfriend (Jackson) turn into a dancing zombie.

"We spoke to Ola Ray's attorney, who tells us the former Playboy Playmate is suing for breach of contract," TMZ stated. "We're told Ola's not sure exactly how much she's owed -- her accountants will figure that out."

We here at Society/Sex think Ola needs to get a new lawyer. It's been almost three decades, hometrick! He's moved on from new noses to three children and no Neverland.

Get a clue, ho!
