Actress Melissa Gilbert Wins 2001 Screen Actors Guild Presidency
The Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio artists (ACTRA), Canada's counterpart to the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), reached a tentative agreement with producers Tuesday, only days after negotiations began on a new contract to replace the one that expires in January.
Backed by the U.K. actors' union Equity, 27 British actors are suing ABC Entertainment for fees they claim were due them when the 14-episode miniseries "War and Remembrance" aired on ITV in 1995 and 1996.
Despite growing concerns about runaway production, the Screen Actors Guild on Monday reported that the number of jobs for its members in radio and television jumped from 49,662 in 1999 to 53,134 in 2000, an increase of 7 percent.

Craig Kilborn, to the Television Critics Association, on why actors are stumped by the "Five Questions" on his Late Late Show: "I think some of them are legitimately not the brightest people. But other times, when you're in that situation, you freeze up. And then there are things that we should know that we, just for some reason, we don't know, we forget about it."
Two actors on television's ``America's Most Wanted'' today face felony charges alleging they had sex with a 14-year-old girl living at a shelter in Van Nuys, where the show was on location, prosecutors said.
A tentative deal between the actors' unions (SAG/AFTRA) and the studios (AMPTP) is expected to be announced Monday.
Negotiators for actors and producers have decided to step up their efforts to make a deal by next week, when their existing contract expires, Reuters reports.
The talks between the Screen Actors Guild and the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers resumed Wednesday after a five-day recess and less than six weeks before the June 30 contract expiration. The break served as a breather to have more time to study proposals and tend to other business, but both sides have maintained a news blackout, following along the same pattern as the Writers Guild of America talks. Optimism has been high regarding an easy resolution, due to the recent agreement made with the WGA, but studios are still remaining wary, holding off scheduling publicity and promo tours until after June.
Actors and studios resume talks after the latest hiatus in negotiations. The snail's pace hasn't--yet--started anyone in Hollywood worrying about a strike, but the news blackout has people speculating on what will happen when a deal is done.
Talks between actors and producers begin again
After a 12-day break, talks between the actors' unions and the studios begin again Tuesday. Despite SAG/AFTRA's talk of slimming down their demands and focusing on the needs of middle-income actors, the list of items up for negotiation is thought to number near 80, according to Variety. The studios want a discounted structure for actors with small parts. Only 25 days remain on the actors' current contract with the studios.
The Screen Actors Guild took an aggressive stance Wednesday in the latest round of talks with the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists, placing salary demands much higher than the expected ceiling of $120 million salary hike over three years, Variety reported. While SAG had initially imposed work limitations during the strike, such as limiting activity to non-U.S. citizens and requiring that shoots take place in foreign markets, they have now eased restrictions and granted extension agreements to projects already in the works.
The national executive director of Canada's main actors' union, the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists (ACTRA) said Tuesday that his union will support the Screen Actors Guild's demands that actors hired by Canadian production companies controlled by U.S. studios be paid at U.S. contract rates.
Negotiations continued Thursday between the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists in an effort to settle the disputes between Hollywood actors and studios. They lasted only three hours, according to Variety. Negotiators for both sides announced a six-day break in the talks--citing the Memorial Day weekend as the cause--but neither party would comment as to why their negotiations broke down so quickly on Thursday.
Formal negotiations between the two actors unions and the producers alliance won't resume until Wednesday, though that's to be expected, say wire reports. The break will be used for the Screen Actors Guild, the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists and Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers to evaluate what was proposed May 15, when negotiations began. Talks will continue Wednesday and Thursday, before they recess for the Memorial Day weekend. When talks resume after that, the two sides will have a little less than five weeks to iron out a deal.
The negotiations between the two actors unions and the producers alliance, scheduled to begin 2 p.m. PDT Tuesday, are purportedly more concerned with rank-and-file members than with the top Hollywood stars.
Higher pay for middle-income actors - defined by the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists as those actors making $30,000 to $70,000 per year, and comprise 50 percent of their membership - is their main issue. Two percent of the combined unions' membership of 135,000 earns more than $100,000 per annum.
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 30, 2001 -- Nominations for the 7th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were announced today in Los Angeles at L.A.'s Pacific Design Center. The unique show, honoring performers from 13 movie and TV categories, will air on TNT, Sunday, March 11 from the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 30, 2000 -- Work is the word for striking actors. After nearly six months of work stoppage, members of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists will return to work today, according to news reports. The decision came late Saturday night when the joint boards of directors for the two unions voted in favor of endorsing a new commercials contract. Members of the unions still need to vote on the pact, and the ratification process should end in late November. Actors from SAG and AFTRA had been striking against the advertising industry since April. The 181-day strike is the longest one in Hollywood history.
HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 23, 2000 -- Everyone can breathe a little easier now as the continuing actors strike against the advertising industry finally draws to a close. The Hollywood Reporter says that a tentative agreement was reached between the striking actors and the ad industry in New York on Sunday. The breakthrough came after four days of intense bargaining over pay scale on the Internet and basic cable. Details of the agreement have not been released. But according to the report, the deal will give the two actors unions (the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists) control over Internet-made commercials and a better buyout rate for cable. The exact terms of the deal will be announced at a press conference today in New York. The tentative agreement would need to be approved by the boards of directors of SAG and AFTRA and
