Fran Drescher Says Studio Execs Had a ‘Come to Jesus Moment’ During Strikes: ‘They Didn’t See This Coming. They Didn’t See Me Coming’
Ahead of this year's SAG Awards, Fran Drescher praises wins from the historic SAG strike and what's next for the guild.
SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher was a model of fearlessness last year during the union’s 118-day strike — the longest in its history — facing down the leaders of the major studios, while maintaining membership solidarity on the picket lines. Two months after the union ratified its new contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, her body is still paying her back for what her brain put it through. Drescher is now working with politicians in Washington, D.C., to lobby for the Artificial Intelligence Fake Replicas and Unauthorized Duplications (No AI FRAUD) Act, a bipartisan bill sponsored by Reps. María Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) and Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.) that would establish a federal framework to protect Americans’ individual right to their likeness and voice from being the subject of AI-generated fakes and forgeries.
