In 1981, after Ronald Reagan became the US president, left-winger and actor Edward Asner took over as president of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). Asner was known for his progressive political views and activism, particularly in support of labor rights and social justice issues. His leadership at SAG marked a notable shift in the organization's direction during a politically charged era.
