The 118 day actors strike is over. Details coming

SAG president Fran Drescher, best known for playing “The Nanny,” stood her ground when the AMPTP used all kinds of PR tactics to pressure the union.

But Drescher and her negotiating team would not give in. Though this is just a three year contract, it sets new standards for the future in streaming royalties and artificial intelligence.

Why the studios forced everyone to go through a four and a half month strike and work stoppage will be studied in the future. But as of now, Hollywood is back to business.
