"Actor and retired professional wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has donated
an unprecedented “seven-figure” amount to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation amid the
actors union’s strike, a representative for the support fund told
HuffPost on
Monday.
The Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists
has been on strike since July 13, joining the ongoing Writers Guild of America
East and West strike to demand equitable pay and improved work conditions in
Hollywood.
Of the 160,000 SAG-AFTRA members, roughly 2,700 of the union’s highest earners
received a letter from the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s president, Courtney B. Vance,
and executive director, Cyd Wilson, detailing the need for financial assistance
amid the work stoppage.
Johnson’s seven-figure donation is the largest lump sum the foundation has
received from a single donor since it was founded in 1985, a representative
told
HuffPost, referring to it as a “milestone.”"
