Drescher's plushie has attracted a lot of attention online.
Fran Drescher has not been carrying a Furby around to The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strike negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers , in spite of prior reports. Instead, the actor and SAG chief has reportedly been carrying a Jellycat plush during the meetings. After drawing some criticism from the other side of the table, Drescher defended her decision to carry the plush, which was reportedly given to her by a fan.
"I don't have emulate a masculine energy a good leader," Drescher tweeted on Wednesday."I can be smart, have a keen ability integral flaws in a business model AND put a tiny heart shaped plush toy between me and Bob Iger." Ty David 4 your support. I’ve said it b4 & I’ll say it again, I don’t have 2 emulate a masculine energy 2B a good leader.
The AMPTP has been floating off-the-record comments to the trades this week, suggesting that today is make-or-break, as they're worried that TV series won't be able to go back into production if a deal isn't struck soon. The idea is that holiday breaks in November and December would essentially turn every show into a midseason, shortened-season show, and the studios are willing to take a bigger loss and just return to normal next year.
The actors went on strike in July, about two months after the writers did. It's unlikely it will take another two months to get a deal struck, though. The WGA and Director's Guild of America contracts have likely set certain standards that the studios will have to meet with the actors, and that presumably limits the scope of the current talks.
