The problem with selling photographs of celebrities, living or dead, is  
their "right of publicity," which passes to heirs.  It may not be a problem  with 
a few sales of pictures for personal use, but it can come into play if the  
pictures are used for commercial purposes.  There could also be a  problem if 
someone decides you're simply making too much money from the  sales.  The King 
estate, for example, is known to be especially  vigilant about the use of 
images of Martin Luther King.  You may need  advance permission and can be charged 
fees.  I would strongly suggest  consulting an attorney.
