Barbara Perry became a Screen Actors Guild member in 1934, one month before her 13th birthday. When she joined, she was already a seasoned professional who began her career at the age of 4 and, by the mid-1930s, was believed to be the only child performer who had appeared in concerts, stage, opera, radio, screen and television. During World War II, she entertained the troops at USO shows. More recently, she appeared with comedian Louie Anderson in the FX series Baskets. In a ceremony at the National Board meeting in October 2018, Perry was presented with the Founders Award, which honors early members of SAG-AFTRA's predecessor unions, SAG and AFTRA, who have provided meritorious service to fellow members. REED FARRELL, a broadcaster, actor and writer who served as AFTRA president from 1989–1993, passed away July 6. Farrell joined AFTRA in 1955 and Screen Actors Guild the following year. He made his mark as an actor, voiceover artist and narrator in television, films, commercials and industrial films, and as a writer of hundreds of TV and radio spot commercials. In January of 1958, while a disc jockey at KWK in St. Louis, he was filmed smashing rock 'n' roll records, declaring "Rock 'n' roll has got to go — and go it does at KWK." The "record-breaking" campaign was not Farrell's idea — he enjoyed rock — but was ordered to do it by the station's president after staff agreed that rock had "dominated the music field long enough." The film clip of Farrell destroying the records has been used in numerous documentaries. The joint AFTRA and SAG commercials strike in 1979 inspired him to participate in his union. Soon after being elected AFTRA national president, he explained: "Back in 1979 when we went on strike with the commercials contract, I decided to get active and vowed that I would never walk a picket line again without having had something to say about it. I've been active ever since." After completing his presidency in 1993, he was presented with AFTRA's George Heller Memorial Gold Card No. 37.
