Personal Quote:

I've never been one to obey the rules unless they made sense to me. If I had it to do over again, I'd do less arguing and more negotiating. I'm just happy to be alive. See more »

Monte sued Lear, along with CBS and ABC, in 1977 for stealing his ideas for "Good Times", "The Jeffersons" and "What's Happening!" and won a one million dollar settlement. See more »
