Murphy Helps Actors
Eddie Murphy has been added to the growing list of donors who have opened their checkbooks to the striking actors' union relief fund. Yesterday, the "Nutty Professor" star made a $100,000 contribution to the Screen Actors Guild Foundation, its executive director, Marcia Smith, told the Associated Press. Members of SAG and the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists began their walkout against the advertising industry on May 1, in protest of pay rates for actors in commercials. Other high-profile actors who have donated to the SAG Foundation strike relief fund include Nicolas Cage ($200,000) and Harrison Ford, Helen Hunt, Kevin Spacey and Bruce Willis ($100,000 each). The strike is the first major Hollywood labor dispute in a dozen years. It affects only radio and TV ads, not movies or TV series, though there are rumblings that such a walkout could occur next year.
