October 20, 2023 04:43 pm | Updated 05:33 pm ISTOscar winner George Clooney and other top Hollywood stars have offered $150 million to the SAG-AFTRA actors union as part of a proposal to end the actors' strike as it nears its 100th day. Their offer, confirmed by Clooney's spokesperson on Thursday, would provide the union an extra $150 million over three years and could help fund improved health benefits. Clooney also said top stars would only collect residuals once lower-paid actors received theirs. The strike, which will mark its 100th day on Saturday, has disrupted film and television production, leaving thousands of crew members without work as well as the actors. Hollywood's film and television writers ratified a new, three-year contract earlier this month, ending their 148-day work stoppage.
