Picketers let Liz Taylor through their line
According to Forbes.com:
Actress Liz Taylor persuaded striking TV and film writers to briefly put down their picket signs Saturday night in Los Angeles.
The Writers Guild of America agreed not to picket the Paramount Pictures lot, where AIDS activist Taylor gave a benefit performance.
Taylor, 75, said she would not cross picket lines on Dec. 1, which was World AIDS day. She said she asked the writers union to put down their signs for one day so that she and her guests could enter the studio with a clear conscience.
Writers have been on strike since Nov. 5.
The goal of the benefit performance of A.R. Gurney’s play “Love Letters� with James Earl Jones was to raise $1 million for The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
