IN MEMORIAM: Fran Gaar (1918 – 2008)
The Actors Fund has lost a dear trustee and friend, whose legendary, passionate devotion to the Lillian Booth Actors’ Home was regularly demonstrated in the variety shows she produced there.  We will celebrate her life every day, remembering that The Actors Fund is made strong by leaders like her.

Fran's memory can be honored with a  tribute gift by clicking here.

HELP THOSE AFFECTED BY THE RECENT WRITER’S STRIKE
During the recent writer’s strike, thousands in our community were without employment. Many were out of work for more than four months.  And, even though the strike has ended, the lingering effects are very severe.

Actors, crew, lighting designers, costumers, animators, grips… have all been put out of work by the strike.  Many are now behind on their rents and mortgage payments and facing mounting bills for utilities, cars and healthcare. With savings accounts depleted, many are worried about how to feed their families.

The dedicated Actors Fund team is working overtime every day to help as many people as possible.  But it is going to take many months for the industry to get back into full swing. And, some jobs will never come back.

Your help and support are urgently needed.  Please consider making a dedicated gift today to assist those in need.  Click here to donate now.


A WONDERFUL WAY TO HONOR THOSE YOU CARE ABOUT
