Anne-Marie Johnson - Screen Actors Guild National Board of Directors

Good afternoon and thank you Chairman Krekorian and committee members for your support and the opportunity to speak today. My name is Anne-Marie Johnson; I am an actor and am proud to represent 120,000 members of Screen Actors Guild,
60,000 of who live in California.

Not everyone can get their name in lights,
