Paule McKenna, as Guardian Ad Litem for deceased actor Christopher Jones, claimed industrial injury (digestive, excretory, nervous systems, and psyche) allegedly sustained between March 1, 1969 and January 31, 1970 during the filming of 'Ryan's Daughter' on a film set in Ireland. The WCJ found no employment relationship and no California jurisdiction, ordering applicant take nothing, and applicant petitioned for reconsideration alleging the Board acted in excess of its powers, new evidence, and unsupported findings. The Board granted reconsideration but, after review, denied it, adopting and incorporating the WCJ's report. The Board emphasized that the parties' stipulation that decedent appeared in the movie was not prima facie evidence of employment by Warner Brothers, since a film set may have multiple employers, and applicant failed to establish that decedent entered a contract for hire in California or was regularly employed in California. The Board affirmed the December 29, 2021 Findings and Order.
