Good morning one and all.
It's Tuesday and the day for topics relating to writers in the media.
I really never thought that the actors would strike. When I was talking about the writer's strike I jokingly said that an actor's strike would last about two minutes.
What do actors have to strike about anyway? I have to admit I haven't read any real details about it. I did read a brief piece about a specific actress that felt she wouldn't be able to pay her $14,000. monthly alimony cheque to her ex. That times were getting hard for her because a show she'd been working on was cancelled and then, well, what about the possible actor's strike.
$14,000. in alimony!!!!!!!!!
I won't even go there. Needless to say I am not too sympathetic with her plight. It would be horrible to expect her to sell one of her houses to make ends meet...
OK, so I just can't take the actor's strike as seriously. I admit it. Not to say that I don't enjoy TV shows and movies sometimes, but I don't really think you can compare a successful actor's financial realities with writers' financial realities. We are talking about (most of the time) very different planets here.
Anyway, that's how I see it. Have a great one.
