Ambitions
Since Frank Zappa`s death in 1993, she has overseen the release of his recordings, including multiple previously unavailable works, under the Zappa Family Trust. The Trust holds title and copyright to Frank Zappa`s musical and artistic products, as well as his commercial image. In this stead, she often sues bands playing the music of and paying tribute to her late husband. One such band was forced to cancel a show during their 2008 tour due to pressure from the Zappa Family Trust.
