"Before I took up my current line of work, I got to know a thing or two about negotiating when I represented the Screen Actors Guild in contract talks with the studios. After the studios, Gorbachev was a snap."
That was Ronald Reagan --- speaking to the Chamber of Commerce -- November 17, 1988 --- one of his final speeches as president.
The topic of the speech: world trade and world economics.
But that's not the topic of the July 27, 2023, episode of C-SPAN'S "The Weekly."
In the latest episode of "The Weekly"-- as the actors and writers strikes continue to shut down Hollywood -- we remember Ronald Reagan -- but not as president of the United States of America. Instead, as president of the Screen Actors Guild. And his role in the 1960 strike -- the last time Hollywood actors and writers were on strike at the same time.
• What were his memories from those days?
• And what did other Hollywood stars -- and studio heads -- say about Ronald Reagan's leadership during the 1960 strike?
