Norman Lear

Norman Lear Instagram – In my almost 101 years, while I have served other posts, I have been, at my core, a writer. 
 
A writer who struggled and anguished to put words to paper that would provoke, create conversation, humanize us, help us see each other — words that would matter. 
 
I wrote in the very first year of television, when writers were revered. I now watch talented writers struggle to earn a living wage without the path to a career like mine.
 
The stories we tell, the stories I can now watch on any device, are the stories that connect us, engage us, make us laugh and cry together, and inspire understanding and compassion. That is something to be protected and cherished.
 
I stand with writers and with the Writers Guild of America, my union. The industry is stronger when we stand together to protect our collective community. #wgastrong | Posted on 06/Jun/2023 23:41:27
