Member Interviews

Since 1989, the Screen Actors Guild Foundation has been busily preserving words and images of Guild members and staff through its Legacy Documentation interviews.

Through the miracle of video (though we all take video, film, and audio for granted, they are indeed miracles), one can hear and see former Guild presidents Howard Keel, Charlton Heston, Dennis Weaver, Ed Asner, William Schallert, Patty Duke; founding Guild members Lyle Talbot, Leon Ames, Francis Lederer and Ralph Bellamy; Board members Marsha Hunt and John Randolph on the blacklist years; executives and staff members Ken Orsatti, Jack Dales, Chet Migden, Midge Farrell, and dozens of other Guild members, Board members and staff, both living and now-deceased, sharing their wisdom, anecdotes, opinions and reminiscences.

Dozens of interviews have been taped to date. The Foundation has also been videotaping its popular "Conversations" series. These tapes may be viewed on-site only at the Guild's Hollywood headquarters, and at select branch offices.
