Exit stage left.
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.
