SAG Activist Elected President

26 September 2005 | From Studio Briefing | See recent Studio Briefing news

Alan Rosenberg, who headed the Membership First faction of the Screen Actors Guild that had demanded that it take a more aggressive stance in negotiations with producers, was elected president of the union Friday. He will succeed Melissa Gilbert, with whom he frequently clashed in recent months -- particularly over what he regarded as the union's "soft" stance on DVD residuals. He defeated a Gilbert ally, actress Morgan Fairchild, and independent candidate Robert Conrad. In a statement, Rosenberg said, "I ran a campaign that offered a simple and straightforward promise -- I will fight like hell to get actors their fair share."

Gilbert Won't Seek Reelection As SAG President

22 July 2005 | From Studio Briefing | See recent Studio Briefing news

Telling the Los Angeles Times that she found her situation as president of the polarized Screen Actors Guild "untenable," Melissa Gilbert said Thursday that she will not stand for reelection. In a separate statement, she remarked, "There are rifts [in the union] that may very well be irreparable." Her withdrawal leaves three actors seeking the unpaid post -- Morgan Fairchild, best known for her starring role in Falcon Crest, Alan Rosenberg, who has appeared on L.A. Law and The Guardian, and Robert Conrad, who co-starred in the TV series The Wild Wild West. Fairchild, viewed as a Gilbert ally, told the Times: "We have to quit fighting each other and fight for our members." But Rosenberg predicted a "dogfight," although, he added, "I will do my best to keep things civil." Conrad was not available for comment.
