On Wednesday (July 19, 23), the 76-year-old star shared a photo on Instagram of herself alongside her 34-year-old filmmaker son, both protesting in support of fellow members of the Screen Actors Guild and Writers Guild of America.
“Usually my son would finish this caption but he’s on strike,” she wrote at the top of the photo, adding, “A family striking together…”
The Thelma and Louise actress briefly offered her thoughts on the strike in a video she shared on Instagram last Saturday. She explained that she would no longer be promoting her new DC Studios superhero movie, Blue Beetle, or filming new films “until we get a contract that reflects changes in the industry that are fair to actors.”
Lupita Nyong’o, comedian Sarah Silverman and Lost star Daniel Dae Kim were also spotted during a protest in New York on Thursday afternoon, according to the Daily Mail.
Having failed to find a compromise with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents the major studios, the actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA, joined, on July 14, the protest movement initiated by the screenwriters of the Writers Guild of America, on strike since May 2.
