We had a walk-through Monday morning, and some additional production crew joined us in the office – everyone’s going at full steam! I know I’ve said it before, but I really can’t believe the show is in two weeks. It seems even faster than last time. With that said – we’re trying to cram even more into the calendar.
As you should know, Betty White is our Life Achievement honoree this year. The first time I met her, I was just coming in for a regular Monday morning, dreading coming back from the weekend and the elevator opened up and ‘Hey look! It’s Betty White…’ I awkwardly stepped into the elevator, mostly from being caught off guard, and Betty was just so nice! She's super stylish with her lion necklace and loves animals. Aldo (our awards pup) was in the house that day, so he got some love from Betty.
There’s another group of people who are also great to work with, the SAG Awards Committee! If you don’t know who they all are – let us tell you a little bit about them.
JoBeth Williams - our committee chair and president of the SAG Foundation whom you'd recognize from her starring roles in "Poltergeist" and "The Big Chill" and her recent arc on "Dexter” and appearance on “Private Practice”
Daryl Anderson - our committee Vice Chair; who made his first big splash as the photographer nicknamed "Animal" on the TV drama "Lou Grant," and is still shooting great pictures
Scott Bakula - who's currently starring in TNT's hot new drama "Men of a Certain Age and who thrilled sci-fi fans on "Quantum Leap" and "Star Trek" Enterprise"
Shelley Fabares - star of such classic TV series as "Coach," "One Day at a Time" and "The Donna Reed Show"
Paul Napier - who you might recognize as one of the old-line bankers from the Washington Mutual ads and who was the original "Mr. Goodwrench"

They’re always so nice. Whether I’ve run into them coming out of long meetings or at 5 in the morning for nominations, you can tell they love doing what they do. There is a wide range in membership, from Paul Napier who is a founding member of the Committee to Scott Bakula, the newbie who joined just last year.
We're going to give you the chance to get to know all of these fabulous people: Betty, JoBeth, Daryl, Scott, Paul and Shelley. Have you ever wanted to ask them how they got their start? Or what was their favorite part of working on? Now is your chance.
