MELISSA ARCHIVE NEWS

GILBERT QUITS SCREEN ACTORS GUILD

Actress MELISSA GILBERT refuses to seek a third term as president of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) after four troubled years as the head of the union.

Gilbert, who played LAURA WILDER in hit 1974 television series LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE , can no longer bear the tensions within the SAG, and claims the damaged relations between herself and fellow union officials can never be healed.

She says, "It is no great secret that there are problems within the leadership of SAG. There are rifts that may very well be irreparable.

"All of that aside, I still believe the Screen Actors Guild is the most powerful performers' union in the world. I want future leaders to know I will be watching them like a hawk."

A replacement for the position of union president is being discussed, but likely candidates include actress MORGAN FAIRCHILD, veteran screen star ROBERT CONRAD and LA LAW actor ALAN ROSENBERG.

MELISSA GILBERT NOT RUNNING FOR A THIRD TERM AS PRESIDENT OF SCREEN ACTORS GUILD

After serving two terms as President of Screen Actors Guild, actress Melissa Gilbert has officially announced on July 21, 2005 that she will not run for a third term. In a statement Gilbert says:

“After much thought and discussion with my family, close friends and supporters I have decided that I will not be seeking a third term as President of Screen Actors Guild. The past four years have been remarkable, at times frustrating but incredibly rewarding. I leave office with once in a lifetime experiences and lifelong friends. My respect for the staff of SAG as well as my leadership team knows no bounds and I will look back on my time spent with them with deep fondness and no regrets.

It is no big secret that there are problems within the leadership of SAG. There are rifts that may very well be irreparable. All of that aside, I still believe that Screen Actors Guild was, is and will always be the most powerful performer's union in the world and I want the future leaders of my beloved union to know that I will be watching them…Like a hawk.

Finally, I must thank my family for their love, support and sacrifice these past four years. My husband and my sons are more than just the wind beneath my wings, they are my wings.”

ANDREAS KATSULAS

Bruce and I are so saddened by the news of our friend Andreas Katsulas' passing. Bruce especially as he and Andreas worked together so closely for four years. Our thoughts and prayers go out his family and friends at what must be a very difficult time.

Andreas was a magnificent actor and  a dear and wonderful friend. We will miss him.
