Actress Anne-Marie Johnson was ousted as the Screen Actors Guild's first national vice president of the union in a 17-16 vote, signaling possible rift among the leadership in the 120,000-member union. Johnson will be replaced by actor Kent McCord. The rise of McCord, a longtime SAG activist, is seen as a rebuke of SAG President Alan Rosenberg, who was a close ally of Johnson and pressed for harder negotiations with studios. Johnson was running for her third one-year term as first national vice president of the union.
