Celebrating Wild Caraway: Taste of Nova Scotia's Restaurant of the Year | SaltWireLOS ANGELES - To thousands of rank-and-file Hollywood actors, Fran Drescher emerged this summer as a modern-day labor hero who secured a hard-fought deal. To studio executives who negotiated with the SAG-AFTRA president, the former"Nanny" star prolonged a strike while she relished her high-profile role.
"She's a really good wartime president," said Kate Bond, who played Jill Morgan on CBS series"MacGyver." "We are the victims here. We are being victimized by a very greedy entity. I am shocked by the way the people that we have been in business with are treating us," Drescher said at a July press conference.
Studio executives, who declined to criticize Drescher publicly to avoid inflaming labor talks, said the 66-year-old Drescher delivered similar unvarnished critiques to industry leaders during closed-door negotiations. They said the union boss talked about achieving a transfer of wealth from the CEO yachting class to actors struggling to make a living on guild minimum wages.
That view was just"rhetoric," said Shari Belafonte, a member of the SAG-AFTRA TV/theatrical negotiating committee."Fran's unwavering commitment to the SAG-AFTRA membership is what drives her." "I can be smart, have a keen ability integral flaws in a business model AND put a tiny heart-shaped plush toy me & Iger," she wrote on social media platform X.
