I love Fran dude.....the fact that she brought up families not being able to afford $500 emergencies shows she is with it
That statistic is over 20 years old. Hollywood didn't give a crap when it was only the peasants being crapped on. Now that it's affecting the elite, suddenly they want to use the peasant's plight to help their own.
Yeah exactly. The fact that that is so many people's reality is pathetic, and it was awesome that she acknowledge that. I see why she was chosen to be president, honestly.
Andrew Yang said that too!
She is sooooo right! My union and employer have been fighting to come to an agreement since February. We all need to stand together ✊✊✊ ❤️ you Fran!
please earn it by writing better scripts
So proud of Fran not afraid to speak her mind. And proud of SAG for making the hard call along with WGA. The studios thought they could ride out the WGA strike, no chance now. Make it hurt. Love and support from a Production Department crew member. We can ride this out.
Fran earned $1.5 million per episode during The Nanny, making her one of the highest-paid actresses on TV , her net worth is over 25 million, do you really think she cares about normal people? She only comes out as a hypocrite rich Hollywood actress acting as a poor worker using the ocassion to make more money
Do you know why humans are greedy? THEY ARE SOCIALLY CONNECTED TO PEOPLE AND LIVING IN SUCH A SPECIFIC LIFESTYLE THAT ENCOURAGES THIS BEHAVIOR WHERE THEY FORM EGO-BASED INTERACTIONS AND FETISH-BASED BEHAVIOR AND TREATMENT THEY GET OFF ON IT AND THEY PAY PEOPLE THEY WANT TO GIVE THAT MONEY TO BASED ON THEIR DILLUSIONAL IDEOLOGIES. AND OF COURSE WHEN IT COMES TO $100,000's of DOLLARS OF COURSE THEY JUST GIVE IT TO WHO THEY WANT. THEY LITERALLY SOCIALIZE LIKE THIS AND FORM SOCIAL GROUPS AROUND THEIR PEERS THAT ENCOURAGES THIS BEHAVIOR THAT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT HOW OTHER PEOPLE ARE TREATED UNDERNEATH THEM. PEOPLE WITH AUTHORITIES ALWAYS, ALWAYS TREAT THEIR EMPLOYEES BENEATH THEM LIKE GARBAGE!!!!!! They just USE YOU and pay you what they want, even though it's what YOU are doing YOU are doing the work. You think they can see that? DOES IT AFFECT THEM AT ALL THAT IT'S THIS WAY? HAHAHH I WISH IT AFFECTED THEM. BUT IT DOESN'T. Actors should not be on SALARY. Actors should be paid BASED ON A HIGH PERCENTILE OF INLFUENCE AND PRESENCE AND WORK IN THEIR JOBS.
But why just actors? WHY NOT EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE GETTING PAID SH** WAGES WHILE THE COMPANY HOARDS MILLIONS AND BILLIONS FOR THEMSELVES THAT DOESN'T GO BACK INTO CENTRAL CIRCULATION. IT GOES OVERSEAS AND GOES BYE BYE.
THATS WHY THE US HAS NO MONEY. BIG BUSINESSES WHO DON"t SHARE THEIR WEALTH SEND THEIR MONEY OVERSEAS AND INTO OTHER ASSETS THAT JUST STORES POWER AND PERSONAL SECURITY. INSTEAD OF GOING INTO THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY USE IT TO BUILD THE WORLD AND EXPAND GROWTH. WE CANT EXPAND GROWTH WHEN THERE IS NO MONEY IN ANYONE"s LIFE BEING USED, IF IT"s ONLY USED TO MAKE SOME PEOPLE MONEY.
Much respect to the production department!! Y’all the real MVPs. ✨✨✨
This member of Califiornia School Employee Association Chapter 233 is sending you strength and love. You guys are on the right side of history!
I was in a union for 20 years. UFCW 21. Union strong. ❤
The drastic increase in the ratio of the CEO+executives pay to the regular workers' in the past few decades is a very series problem that should be fixed.
Agree!
Across industries
across all industries. we need to be clear, ceo's dont deserve 100's of millions while they pay their workers less than 25k per year
I agree!
So proud of Frans' speech and SAG-AFTRA for standing up to what's fair and denouncing the corporate greed, which is an example of what's wrong with the capitalist model.
Many industries will be affected as well as more strikes against other greedy CEOs and board of directors of many major corporations.
Bravo!!!!
Such strong woman, love you Fran and yes, this is affecting all fields of labor. Im a digital Illustrator and all the "AI thing" is destroying the art field like many other fields.
I am on the same boat as you. AI is destroying our livelihood as artists
Should AI be abandoned?
@@jlomesouno. It's going to be n adjustment but we can do it
Vote republican because the very greedy people your talking about are in the politicians pockets call me crazy
@@jlomesou not abandoned or banned, but it needs to work as a tool for the human and not a replacement, thats why needs to be regulated.
Fran Drescher is an absolute boss. I loved her already but this just blows me away. She gets it!!
👍👍👍
As a Cinephile & Fan; I truly appreciate SAG-AFTRA & WGA for standing up for what is RIGHT, as it relates to Labor. If industry CEOs and corporations can do THIS to the most popular & prominent of our society (worldwide); what in THE WORLD are “regular” people in for??? YES, Television & Moviegoing Fans STAND WITH YOU. #solidarity
Honestly the whole country should protest until the gap between the cost of living and wages is closed. Great speech stand with unions not corporations and Wall Street.
seriously!! the fact the some are failing to see the parallels between this and the minimum wage fight is crazy. Everyone, no matter where they are working should be paid a decent wage. Corporations are ready to replace all of us in very aspect, and I agree that the whole country should come together and protest. Unfortunately, there are people in this country that think if you work fast-food or retail, you don't deserve a living wage because it's "low-skill work". People don't realize that this mindset of these jobs being low-skill work, provides a basis for these businesses to install automated services (i.e. self checkouts), and then these same people turn around and complain that "no one wants to work" or "they need to hire people again". This is truly the beginning of the end
It will never close as long as women are half the workforce and illegals can replace you for less money. Wages are very much supply and demand. The only way to raise wages alongside an ever expanding workforce is to implement communism. Which doesn't sound as good as bleeding heart liberals make it out to be.
Couldn’t agree more.
"What happens here is important because what's happening to us is happening across all fields of labor, by means of when employers make Wall Street and greed their priority and they forget about the essential contributors that make the machines run." Fran Drescher, SAG president
That's at least an explanation since I actually work .. the true definition of labor has nothing to do with acting . The true backbone that sustains us requires labor , working physically .
Lol I didn’t know The Nanny was the SAG president so weird
@@davidlipke6530They (bieng the Actors) might not work in factories or the administrative sector of companies that sustain our daily lives in many ways..technologies etc, or in careers such as the health industry. Or in maintenance of our infrastructures in this country, but they have jobs they studied for, acquiring a degree for. Though they make a living in what is considered dramatic arts it is still a part of modern life and a part everyone just about benefits from and a valuable part that I believe has huge pressures on the participators. They are worthy of their craft. They should have a foundation base looking out for the work they do ! Just like most other workers have. If a person doesnt feel their work is worth seeing then THEY shouldnt purchase videos. But thats not to say the workers/actors rights shouldnt be protected. Heck look at what happened to children actors back in the 20th century. They were HORRIBLY exploited. But the laws changed for them.
@@davidlipke6530 labor is still labor
@@SD-zz4ov labor union isnt .
Unions, Unions, Unions are vital for the lower and middle class to make a decent living, or we all would be starving. Yes, FIGHT for your contract rights!
👍
I LOVE Fran Drescher! She is absolutely RIGHT! We all need to stand up and make a stand for financial equity across this country and across the world no matter what your job is!
Also remember that studios are flat-out deleting shows and movies from their streaming services!
so what?
@@landor7610 it not only completely discredits the work people put into creating films and shows, but it's out of corporate greed to avoid paying any royalties to workers.
It's anti art.
@@travisspazz1624 When you make crap nobody wants, why should you keep being payed for it. Most of these people should be Subway Sandwich Artists.
@@landor7610 because the studio greenlit it. Which means the creators should be paid after their greenlit project is finished.
And why are you watching crap? There's still so many great shows and movies coming out every year!
@@travisspazz1624he's a troll, don't engage.
Every person in a labor union should see this (but not on CBS News because they feel the need to put in a talking head over the 2nd half of the press conference).
Yeah, because real people have real problems people don’t care how much money these jackasses can make if they’re not making more money they’re probably not very good at their job.
#RIGHT
I swear if this hits The Animation Guild, I'm gonna go ballastic, hollywood has displayed how they treat animation, and if they can't ink a fair deal for writers and now ACTORS, I can't imagine what they will do for animators, They're Next.
If anyone has any real talent they would know that now is the time to go independent stop relying on these multi-billionaire companies like they're the only way
I pray it doesn’t happen to you. ❤
Stay strong man, it’s a crazy business. I’ve had to walk away from it before and come back after the dust settled. I hope everything works out for you. ❤️🔥🤘🍔🙂
Also talk to your guild. Local 600 has a strike fund. If you need help paying bills. IATSE trust fund as well
@@Deathbybigmac420 i'm not an animator, I'm an animation fan that see what's happening here today and bad sign of what's to come to other unions, Especially in animation.
They'll hire overseas workers. Like they have been I look at end titles. 10 different overseas groups will work on a film.
Frans words were powerful. Brought me to tears
That’s what you call good PR. A household name makes it sound authentic, but it’s not.
LOL!
Fran earned $1.5 million per episode during The Nanny, making her one of the highest-paid actresses on TV , her net worth is over 25 million, do you really think she cares about normal people? She only comes out as a hypocrite rich Hollywood actress acting as a poor worker that wants more money
@franklange957 how’s that for an AI creepy response? Gross. Proving my point in a gold nutshell
@franklange957 Hi l hope youre safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity , love and peace all over the world🌍. I would Iove us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm frank Lange from Nashville Tennessee, where are you from?
DAMN STRAIGHT .... YES!!!! FRAN DRESCHER. 1,00,000% behind the STRIKE!
Well said! Without the union AI will take over. My vote is for people not machines or corporate greed. The future in many ways is being challenged to remain human with compassion and fairness to all laborers.
Strike, quit, whatever. I’ve read ChatGPT and similar AI-generated treatments of film ideas (and even sequels to some classics) that have more creativity, better plot points, etc than probably 80% of the snizzle currently being produced. AI + CGI is the future, and those people who think their roles can be ring fenced away from this equation are going to be disappointed.
@@GT-bz9nc So you won't mind if AI takes your job away from you?
What an eloquent, powerful speech!! Kudos to Ms Drescher, aka the Nanny.
never have i listened to such a passionate and moving speech. im so impressed by this woman... you actors are in good hands, follow the woman
Wait a minute. If producers have to spread their money out to actors and writers, how are they going to afford $20-$50 million homes? Who's going to buy all the $20-$50 million homes in California?
Don't worry, what with flooding, fires, and landslides mother earth is already buying back most of So-Cal 😅
@@leannameents8309 The insurance companies are certainly figuring it out.
You understand that the vast majority of actors and actresses aren’t rich? We’re talking about extras, small roles, etc. read something sometime. You’ll sound less dumb.
Reminds me of that southpark episode where the guy is telling the kids that them pirating music is going to affect how big of a plane or house the celebrity can buy lol
@@leannameents8309 Get out of my head you got that right.🤣😂🤣😂
Very well said Fran. You all deserve to be treated fairly in this and the AMPTP needs to wake up and realize that they need to come to a deal for everyone. Sending all my support to all members and I know you can win this fight.
People tend to forget that SAG-AFTRA isn't just limited to A-list Hollywood actors, not all of them are multi-millionaires.
Facts because I’ve been affected so bad
Most actors earn so little. They need support and protection. They make up the majority of the actors we watch onscreen
Yes thank you. I’m in acting school, obviously not gonna work during the strike and probably wouldn’t get jobs even if the strike wasn’t going on. But I’m worried I’ll never get work. And i support all of strikes!
Love Fran Drescher! Thank you.
That was one of the most powerful speech have ever heard in my life. Bravo to them. I hope they succeed. This is incredibly important which expands to all creative areas, especially outside of the US. We in the UK are worried too, dearly. Best of luck and strength to everyone.
This is a nightmare. The greed of Hollywood knows no limits. Fran Drescher gave a powerful speech.
We are all being victimized or threatened by the existing world order. Hollywood is not nearly as bad off as the rest of us, I assume.
Wait, which is the nightmare? The Hollywood greed or the speech. Or are you saying they are both a nightmare?? Seems like there should have been a "however" before mentioning Fran's speech.
Capitalism eating itself alive. This was needed 15 years ago when digital downloading and when streaming became the norm.
Sydney, Australia here. Fran Drescher has always been an inspiration to the world of Art and Entertainment, and this because of the enormity of her heart and the the humility she harbours within it. I love her. I love that she is giving her voice in support of creative people who gift to this world a very real sense of being that AI can never replicate, that Love is everything in the realisation of our dreams. I am a composer, and I am of the old school. I still use pen and manuscript paper. It's a question of connection, and at a deeply spiritual level. Therefore, I am fearful for this world with the advent of AI and across all walks of life, where making a living should never be diminished by technology, rather augmented by it to embrace spirit and always - always! - in celebration of the Truth of Who We Are as creative entities because that is why we are here: to create! The distinction between what is artificial and our authenticity should never fall into question.
And how many people are protesting the fact that the middle class is being crushed, that the poor are sleeping under bridges? When it comes to millionaires, we always protect them. Such priorities does the human race have.
some members of the Poor ( like republican NON million and billionaires) think that if they can just get to a million they will join that protected class. We need to get everyone understanding that we got rid of nobility classes centuries ago. Even the Heads of State, like in England are responsible to the laws ( as Andrew shows)
The point is that MANY people are not millionaires in the business. And streaming is cutting into profits and contracts didn't have foresight to include it (especially old TV shows). All laborers should get a fair share of the profit, of any business models.
@@DaleHartley Hmmm. Had it been the case, he'd have been in jail.
Most actors aren't rich
@@alicelaybourne1620 Amen. Not all actors are rich or even famous. Everybody who enters the profession, even a brand new actor, needs a sustainable future. Otherwise, they might as well quit now and leave us all to make our own entertainment. Charades anyone? No more TV? No more movies? Yeah, it's important for all of us to get our fair share.
Ever since the WGA went on strike over 2 months ago, I knew there would come a day that SAG-AFTRA would be taking this same action. It was only a matter of time.
lets hope its bring the AMTMP back to the negotiating table so everyone gets fair pay
I have a sinking feeling that The Animation Guild is next
@@josephtafur The more the merrier
@@JBTriple8I mean Disney Netflix HBO can’t do anything without actors
GET UP STAND UP!!! I stand with you Union President Fran 120%!!! It's time too UNIFY and let them CEO"S know that without you'll it ends their plush life!!! So give it your best and know WERE BEHIND YOU'LL!!!
What a great speaker!
Thank you Fran for telling it like it is. We are the small wheels that make the big ones turn. Wake up corporations!
I support my fellow writers and actors in this strike.
It is time !
I'm clapping Fran from my flat in London! I'm in total support of all the striking actors and writers. The CEOs and the producers want to hold out until people are starving and homeless because ultimately they are evil and wicked. I hope it doesn't come to that for people.
The NANNY named Fran!!! Wow what a powerful speech!!!! Love her
I’m waiting for musicians and people who own the rights to songs/musician’s catalogs to strike against the use of AI.
I am canceling my streaming service until this over.
I canceled mine in January because the writing ( no Pun inteaded) was on the wall
I would love to see a movement of everyone cancelling the streaming services in solidarity with the unions. One or two of us would not make a difference - we need momentum.
I'm with you. Cancelling my Disney+ subscription.
Stand strong brothers and sisters.
Thank you we will 🙏
Absolutely- Union strong
Maybe not the right time but Fran Drescher is 65...! She looks incredible.... i just gotta say dang!!! Proceed
The last time actors and writers both went on strike at the same time, Ronald Reagan was president of SAG and he led the way in negotiating many f the benefits members enjoy today.
Reagan? Now that's irony for you. Looks like it wasn't just the Boomers who sold out.
Miss ya, Gipper
He might have helped sad, but then he went on in the '80s to destroy America. ( I am sag by the way, and I've always hated Reagan
And after that he went to the White House and did all he could to destroy unions, and the middle class.
Thank you!!! Thank you for speaking up so passionately for Labor!!!
2020 changed the world forever. Workers across all industries across the planet are now making demands and I'm all for it.
95% of union actors make less than $10,000 per year.
Wow!
Damn 😳
Oh my that's nothing. Shame.
And yet there are some people in the comments who believe we are ungrateful and “should be forced back to work.” All the media you consume, we help to create. And no one, unless those who work in the industry, truly understand how emotionally and physically taxing it is to work 15+ hours days for sometimes weeks on end, for such small pay and no residuals. It’s defeating. Please don’t neglect to see that there are thousands and thousands of actors, besides the few A-list actors who actually earn enough to live very comfortable lives. Just as you have your livelihood, this is ours.
Not going to lie, if this lasts too long, the actors who truly love acting and the writers who truly love writing are going to get together and make some extraordinary stuff on their own. No limits, just passion for their craft.
With what financing? I haven't been watching most new movies for years because it's garbage.
@@armandolimon7465 For free. Like those old school projects with those old cameras. Just creatives being creative. I'm definitely hoping they get what they all deserve when this strike ends, but in the meantime, I know the creatives who NEED to exercise their craft are going to do it some kind of way. Just like 2011 NBA. Some of the greatest highlights and moments happened during those lockout games
@@lexibrowning7447 I hope they go broke at this point. I'm tired of woke garbage.
If it was't woke, most of what is being made is just garbage for TV and cinema.
@@lexibrowning7447 some would definitely take videos during the strike
Quality above quantity. If the writers suffer, the actors suffer in the end as well. All the acting in the world can not reverse the poor scripts that are being generated, just to provide "content". Not even talking about studio's mingeling in generating bland "save" movies where the heart has being just cut out ( yes I'm looking at you Indiana).
Solidarity ✊
Work that mic, Miss Fine!! A powerful speech and kudos to you, girl for being the mouthpiece and taking an impassioned stand against corporate greed.
"who woulda guessed that the girl we described, would be exactly what the doctor prescribed"
Everybody deserves to be paid farily and decently in every industry they work in. For the amount of work that is asked of writers and lack of stability, they deserve to be paid accordingly or have favorable benefits. Writers lose so much money from not benefiting that much from streaming services.
AMTMP couldve avoid this if only payed there writers what they ask
WGA is not SAG AFTRA
@Osideous true but both are striking against the AMTMP
... He listed the overtime, weekends and so forth, that they've been working and I realized he was describing my normal schedule... Sounds horrible when he says it. The poor guy.
They are saying that ALL workers deserve better...You disagree? I can guarantee I worked jobs where it is worse then you...Or even my mother at time ( she was a journeyman electrician)
@@DaleHartley I'm too old to buy that nonsense, man. Half the value of unions is the disparity between them and the rest of us. I've worked alongside union guys for years. They take care of themselves. Buy the biggest truck on the market and sh-- on millenials. You want to talk? Let's start with an honest inventory. Your last win for the common guy was, what? A century ago? You'll get a better life and go right back to using people taking the bus as an example to your kids.

Yeah, you and Chairman Xi
@caljim1950 of your the one siding with Big Business against the Little Guy Trump and Billionaires don't have your best interests.
Unions are the only reason we ever had a middle class. Decades of reaganomic idiocy has destroyed the middle class, and the country. I fully support the actors standing in unity with the writers.
Wow, very well spoken! Give that lady an Oscar!
Norma Rae, In real life
Fran crushed it.
Thay are really speaking for everyone not just for them theres is a lot that gos in to a show or movie. Not just the actors
After listening to Fran, I think she should be the president,, of the united States, very compelling, don't ever take a nanny for granted, I hope you guys get a good contract, you deserve it 😊
Want to support them? Don't rent movies, cut down on streaming (or cancel your streaming subscriptions-for a short time), try not to go to the movies. We can stand in support of all the nameless support getting shortchanged who deserve a living wage. Plus, it will get over quicker since big wigs only care about their pay.
You Mean "Want to destroy the branche we love?"
"Most american dont more than 500 dollars in an emergency " yes fran!! Yesss. I support this woman!
Way to go! Union strong!!
Love you, Fran! You make us SAG members proud ❤
Movies and tv shows has been a great part of our lives, they made us laugh and cry and brought us together so it is only fair that the people behind the scene should be treated fairly!
Speaking as a fan of films and television, I support 💯 the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Hang tough, stay strong. Make those vampires at the AMPTP share the wealth. 💪🤜🤛
Get them, Fran. Might be in the audience, but I am right behind these actors and writers. I thank you for your craft and absolutely cheer on fair and equal compensation for their work!
Much respect for Fran & this speech. Not all actors make millions of $$. Also she’s not wrong this strike affects many more than the actors.. crew staffers, craft service all the behind the scenes ppl that work their butts off to make these shows, movie’s possible. Shame on the Studios this is gonna hurt a lot of ppl. And all for greed.. sad really! Seems to me the studio has forgotten.. Yes it may be the Head but… it takes the neck to turn the head and all those ppl are the neck… & without the neck there would be no movement.. just saying..
Fran is a class act. Beautiful without makeup, recognizable and fearless 👏👏👏👏👏👏OVATION!!!!!!
We’re with FRAN!
In unity, from CPSU, Melbourne, Australia. 💪
Hands down, one of the greatest, most powerful speeches I've ever heard!! 👏🏾😮✨ She is soooo in her element here!! Fran Drescher, You Go Gurl!!
HOLY CHRIST, I LOVE THIS WOMAN MORE THAN MY OWN MOTHER RIGHT NOW!!!
Excuse me?
This is long over due, Hollywood should have been replaced for many years now. We are waiting for the NEXT generation to start now. Independent artist around the world have been waiting for years.
Always support unions. Solidarity forever.
Fran came from humble beginnings and knows the repercussions of greedy ceo's that care for nothing but the bottom line., studios: time to pay up if you want us to watch your crap.,
Only a human can teach another human to be human. To all members of the acting community, the storytellers, and the workers that seamlessly craft the journeys of truly epic human beings into a tangible fruition conditioning the lives of all who perceive these delicate moments that generate the legacies of our heritages you have my fully undivided and unequivocal support.
YOU are the composite of MY AI. I came to you to understand life when numbers were in deficit. YOU repaired my mental disorder when others were nowhere to teach me how to act. I owe my family and patiently pure friends my soul. I owe SAG and non SAG all of the power I can support you with because you taught me how to communicate and connect with the people I wished most to stay in my life. You taught me the definition of authentic talent. Only humans possess the capabilities to perform miracles. The artists are the few that have reached within their enlightened souls to understand how. Those who help artists cultivate and share their art are the most valuable and valued minds of creation and Earth's evolutionary protectors. Humanity needs storytellers for ones who wish not to read. We all need the emulation of beautiful good people who overcome the hardest obstacles of being mortal.
I wish none of this was about currency and profit but rather restructure so that everyone had a fair excitement and purpose in all that they do in life to provide for the ones that they love. Predatory AI and bots will NEVER understand the taste of nourishment nor what it means to be seen, heard, breathed, touched, but most of all felt in the tears and laughter that comes from our hearts.
Money became worth so much that it finally in all actuality is quite worth nothing.
I think the time has come we all realize we weren't born for profit. Money can no longer afford human capital. We all play a role that deserves the even compensation of being able to live and enjoy acting and reacting with one another.
Fran's speech brought tears to my eyes.
Go Fran!!!!
We should mark Fran words. It is already happening all over the world, cashiers being substituted with machines, bots answering customer service, this is gonna touch all areas of labor all over the world.
as much as I would hate doing this, maybe we should all cancel our streaming services for a week or 2 in solidarity. These guys deserve a fair deal. The richer actors will be ok, but they are the minority.
Unions are the backbone of Labor. I stand in solidarity and support with SAG-AFTRA, Writers and Unions. Much Respect..Go Fran.👌👍👏👏.
Don’t mess with Frannie! A force to be dealt with!
It is time, to support these people.
Right on Fran!
👏😘 Thank you, Fran, for passionately speaking the TRUTH ‼️
We can all do without late night trash and remakes, sequels, reboots, prequels, re-imaginings for a few months.
I need to catch up on Game of Thrones again! lmaol
Fran Drescher is a humanitarian icon we need to protect her at all costs
How many actors ended up moving to Canada after Trump got elected??
What's your point Kim's Convience Stars Paul Syung Lee and Simiu Liu have become popular in the States thanks To The Mandalorian & Shang Chi
Not to mention Shoreshy a Letterkenny Spinoff
Not enough.

Yo the Nanny! Leading the charge 😎
I felt this.
Absolutely LOVE Fran!! Ever since the Nanny..... Wish I could find that show again!!
I think it’s on HBO streaming :)
Here in Florida it's running on Cozy TV and ME TV . Also maybe on you tube. I hope you can find it 👍🤗
Yes ma'am, fran.
Last writers' strike killed many shows that networks replaced with "reality shows". AI is next for prime time.
I agree with fran about absolutely fran
Fran sounds like Bernie here, I'm with it. I stand with WGA & SAG AFTRA
I don't watch any high budget production media anymore. At least nothing that's been made in the past decade. RUclips creators make enough good stuff. That whole industry can collapse for all i care.
Big name stars should stand with this woman and boycot Hollywood until they play a fair card for all
Because evidently the privileged are just not privileged enough.... SMDH
as a broke actor this is extremely offensive. do your own damn research. this is certainly a “right place right time” industry. not everyone is this lucky.
Actor =/= movie star/celebrity. Most are not rich and usually have additional jobs to make ends meet.
Then you’re probably not a very good actor..
Time to decentralise and break up the Hollywood monopoly. The people are capable of making good movies without big producers nowadays.
Fantastic Fran!!! Such a great speech!
