Today, award-winning actress, screenwriter, playwright, producer, director and nearly 70-year member of SAG-AFTRA, Renée Taylor, called her fellow members to ask them to vote ‘yes’ for a strike authorization.
Taylor captured America’s heart as the iconic Sylvia Fine, mother to SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher’s Fran Fine on The Nanny.
Listen to her message HERE.
A ‘yes’ vote to the strike authorization does not mean that SAG-AFTRA will necessarily strike, but enables the National Board to declare a strike and shows our solidarity. According to Taylor, “we’re stronger when we band together like we have to do now.”
