"In 1933, when sound was still a new feature in movies, and television no more than an amusing idea on a drawing board, actors in the burgeoning film industry were lucky to earn $15 for a very long day. That marked the year of the founding of the Screen Actors Guild, and in the more than 60 years since, the Guild has continued to bring dignity and respect to the professional screen actor by guaranteeing a living wage and a safe, supportive working environment." ---Richard Masur, SAG President.
