Fran Drescher's Leadership Tested as A-Listers' $150 Million Proposal Fails to End Actors' Strike
TL;DR
Fran Drescher, president of SAG-AFTRA, is facing a leadership test as A-list actors, including George Clooney, push for a deal to end the 100-day strike. The actors presented a proposal to increase dues on high-earning actors and reconfigure residuals, but Drescher rebuffed their ideas. She emphasized her own plan for a new form of streaming residual and urged members to champion the union's full proposal package. The union sent a message to actors to stay united and continue supporting the strike, while the CEOs of studios are frustrated with Drescher's approach.
