Jane's father, Henry Fonda, was also a SAG member and had previously worked with SAG President Reagan in 1946, as can be seen above as he sits in on a meeting with other actors Jane Wyman, Boris Karloff, and Gene Kelly.Residuals and healthcare were both at the top of the list of concerns in 1960, when the WGA went on strike for 22 weeks.
"Gains included the first residuals for theatrical motion pictures, paying 1.2% of the license fee when features were licensed to television; an independent pension plan; and a 4% residual for television reruns, domestic and foreign," was the outcome of the strike, according to the WGA website. Their new contract also"established an independent pension fund and participation in an industry health insurance plan.
Today, WGA and SAG-AFTRA are striking for better residuals for actors , better pay for writers, and a slew of other demands related to the changing nature of the business with the advent of new technologies.
