EXCLUSIVE: Oscar-winning actress Jessica Chastain has given her seal of approval to the tentative agreement reached by SAG-AFTRA with the studios to end the near four-month actors’ strike. “I’m glad our leadership, the SAG leadership has gotten to a deal they think is fair and just and historic in its own right,” Chastain told Deadline.
Eligible members of the 160,00 strong SAG-AFTRA guild have been voting on the ratification of the proposed new three-year contract since November 14, with the vote running until December 5.
Chastain was talking to Deadline on the Red Carpet of Morocco’s Marrakech Film Festival, where she is jury president this year.
