Zeri 9/25/18 ANN FIELDS, a longtime member of the San Francisco-Northern California Local Board, passed away on Sept. 30. Fields was active on the board and served on the Conservatory and Communications/Organizing committees. She also was an enthusiastic participant with BookPALS, a program that encourages children to read. In addition to working in film, she used her writing skills to mentor Berkeley and Oakland high school students. Fields had an infectious smile and charm. She would often wear a cap to stand out when working background on many films shot in the Bay Area. "Ann was as good as they come," said Ed Vasgersian, a fellow Local Board member and good friend. She is survived by her two daughters, Tamera and Leslie, and three grandchildren, Scott, Brian and Katiel. SCOTT WILSON, a character actor and SAG-AFTRA member of more than 50 years, died Oct. 6 at 76. Wilson, who was perhaps most recognizable around the globe for his iconic role as Hershel Greene on The Walking Dead, served on the national and Hollywood Division boards of Screen Actors Guild. He was passionate about the issues facing actors and generously gave his time and expertise in service to the membership and all actors. Screen Actors Guild presented Wilson with the Ralph Morgan Award in 2007, an honor given for distinguished service. "Scott was an extraordinary actor and a dedicated union activist whose efforts during the union's Global Rule One campaign helped secure important provisions for actors working internationally on union contracts. His performance as Hershel on The Walking Dead was an emotional core of that show," said SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris. "Scott's career embodies the inscription on his Ralph Morgan Award: 'devotion to the cause of actors, courage to fight for the right, and sacrifice of self for others.' Our hearts go out to his wife, family and friends." In addition to his work on The Walking Dead, Wilson's credits include In the Heat of the Night, In Cold Blood, The Great Gatsby, The Right Stuff, G.I. Jane and Monster. He also appeared in numerous episodes of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in the recurring role of Sam Braun, a crooked Las Vegas casino owner and father of Marg Helgenberger's Catherine Willows. AMC
