SAG votes to oppose Hollywood hospital closure
The Screen Actors Guild has voted to oppose closing a motion picture home where many actors and others have spent their last years.
By a slender margin, the SAG board voted Saturday to oppose closing the Motion Picture & Television Fund's long-term care facility in Woodland Hills.
SAG has no formal say in the hospital's future but many SAG members financially support it and some actors have vigorously campaigned against what they view as the destruction of a legacy.
The motion picture fund, which runs health care centers, assisted living facilities and other services, says the hospital is losing more than $10 million a year.
Fund Chairman Frank Mancuso says the hospital will bankrupt the fund in five years unless its 84 residents are moved.
