Morty Drescher
“My beloved father Morty, passed away gently in his sleep in the early hours of Mar 20th surrounded by my mother and I.
Alhough he was 94.5 , it still feels untenable how permanent the loss of this great man is.
He leaves behind his bride Sylvia, of 71 wonderful years of marriage and two adoring daughters, my sister Nadine and I.
His values were always in the right place. He honored and respected everyone equally.
He understood the important things in this life, love of family, simple pleasures and living in gratitude.
He passed these values onto his children and lived an exemplary life.
Always, the life of the party, he was funny and smart. Known within our circles of family and friends to always recite Casey At The Bat, one of his favorite poem.
He was also a wonderful actor who made several appearances on The Nanny and The Rosie O’Donnel Show.
He loved sports of all kinds and I was happy to take him to a Super Bowl, a US Tennis Open and the Kentucky Derby. Golf and swimming was his favorite things to do in retirement.
He was a good friend to many people both at work and within his community.
He was an amazing father who taught my sister and I to swim, ride a bicycle and drive a car.
He was the best husband to my mom and remained madly in love with her until his last breath.
He was so very proud of both his daughters accomplishments. My sister who raised two daughters of her own while achieving her doctrine in nursing.
And a systems analyst, I inherited his analytical mind which I referenced throughout my leadership as sag-aftra president, especially during the strike.
I am so happy he got to see me not only achieve success as an actor but even more important as a labor leader because doing volunteer work on behalf of the greater good was the ethics by which he raised me.
If there is a heaven, he’s there now because he lived purely, honestly and lovingly. “

AMPTP has broken off negotiations. We are ready, willing and able to resume negotiations. If you don’t like any of our solutions to the problem of a better method to compensate performers on streaming than you come up with something that does. You haven’t offered us anything that helps everyone & not just the top two names on the call sheet. Walking away is a bully tactic that won’t pay the rent or put food on the table. #sagaftrastrong
The heaviness of this past week’s horrors just got worse with the loss of friend Suzanne Sommers. She was a sweet & talented woman, a wife and mother. Survivor and thriver for more than 2 decades. But so sad to say she passed away today. Life is very hard, wherever we can bring joy, love, empathy and kindness as we move thru each day, do it! RIP dear Suzanne, you will long be remembered. 🙏❤️☮️🥲

Humanity I believe in YOU. Please stop the violence. First the innocent victims of war in Ukraine and now Israel???
When does this end? Please hold loving kindness and empathy in your hearts. War is not the answer. My prayers🙏 for ☮️✌🏿& ❤️ are for the victims of war. It’s a horror. Each day if we can all try harder to show love and kindness to others, we can change the world and these poor innocent victims shall not have died in vain. May we all become more empathic. The Dalai Lama said, “ World peace is not a world w/o problems, but a world where we are committed to solving our problems peacefully.”

Get Ready!
Run don’t walk to The Ruskin Theater in Santa Monica to see a two thumbs up performance of Arthur Miller’s, A View From the Bridge, starring Ray Abruzzo who is stellar in the lead role. . A HUGE round of applause to the entire cast, director, set designer and costumes plus all the people who make this jewel box of a theater shine! Last night’s theatrical experience was nothing short of an “as good as it gets” theatrical experience. They just extended thru early Nov so GO!
Thank you for all your support! @sagaftra We stand empowered on the side of fairness and hold you all in our hearts. This is our moment of truth! May the force be with us🙏✌🏿💪🌈❤️
