BRAVO!! Who did this?? Jeffrey? The format is perfecto -- short, sweet and on message! Peter R digs it...

JUST IMAGINE not getting paid for your work.

I hope it doesn't last long (I love my shows) but to be honest, as a writer myself (for the mags) good work needs good pay and they're just not getting their dues. Fact.

I met Garry with my Mom (Actress Bond Gideon) a few years ago in his Burbank office.. Garry gave her a shot on Blansky's Beauties series with Scot Baio and Nancy Walker. While the show was not a hit she eventually was on Operation Petticoat (Lt Claire Reid) and Jill Foster # 2 on Y& R for a while. Garry is one of the nicest people I met in LA whiel out there for six weeks and I want to thank him for being supportive of my Mom and me. TTT

I've been working for two years on productions for less than minimum wage. So yeah I know how they feel!

[kwixotic]

Piano tuners who like myself tune for the major studios should go on strike!

It's because we NEVER get our names listed on the end credits. And we DO perform an invaluable service(think of the countless films where piano music is in the film score or even right in the movie itself like "The Pianist.").

We should start demanding a portion of the profits(say, for instance, $1 per each string tuned)whenever the tuned piano appears in a movie scene. Now isn't that a modest "demand?"

I wonder who created that little strike march number?

[Pervenche09]

I did not have to get any sort of degree to be sucessful in the motion picture industry. I will admit I was lucky to be in an industry that doesn't require more. It's all about who you know and how to dazzel them in the meetings(NO silver Queen there was no casting couch in the meetings, If there was I would have become so rich I wouldn't be sitting around here.) All kidding aside, I agree with you on the education issue and how the lack of it weakens our government.

[SilverQueen]

This attitude, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why nearly every industrialized country in the world is lightyears ahead of the U.S. in the area of education. "I don't need no book larnin', lolz!"
