I have written about this before.  I was a MEMBER of AFTRA before SAG. I joined AFTRA even though I was SAG eligible because it was $500 cheaper.  I spent a year going to their events. I worked a few AFTRA union jobs.  This was in 2010.  But then I got invited to an event at the PALLEY and JASON GEORGE from ELI STONE and GREY&#8217;s  ANATOMY.  I went and I tried to walk up to George at the reception.  Next thing I know CONSUELA FLOREs who had been on the WOMEN&#8217;s COMMITTEE with me and at several events with AFTRA I attended, grabs my arm and says &#8220;FUCK YOU&#8221; in my face.  I say to her &#8220;I just want to know why Grey&#8217;s Took away why I beat CANCER.&#8221;  I leave.  I go across the street and I meet TIM RUSS who was playing at the AQUA.  Tim actually bought me a cranberry juice and we talked but I never once mentioned that I had been at the PALLEY.  I think I did not want to involve him in this MESS.  (I have a lot  of emails from AFTRA I have never shown to anyone because I have all the email addresses for a BUNCH of AFTRA people.)  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are emails with OLGA PREZ who worked for AFTRA who sent me a notice about a ACTORS FUND EVENT.  ACTORS FUND in 2010 also told me to go to CHURCH to get employed.  They acted like my future was in an office in a suit.  I wanted to find a way to work production so I could be open to possibly getting small roles to build an acting career.  I did not want to be stuck in a 40 hour a week job that prevented me growing in the directions I wanted.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am sick of getting job postings and someone is harassing me. I WANT TO WORK HARD. BUT GUESS WHAT.  If the work I do does not get me the career and dreams I really want I will hate the work.  I will hate my employers. I WILL NOT WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND OR DATE YOU.  I AM SICK OF PEOPLE TRYING TO SAY THAT BECAUSE I AM A TRAINED ACTOR I MAKE UP PEOPLE AND EVENTS AND HAVE DELUSIONS.  I am going to want to commit suicide because you will not let me be happy. You stopped me growing.  I do not want to go on a fancy vacation or buy expensive clothes. I do not want to own a huge house.  It is not things that make me happy.  I have a bunch of movie ideas I wanted to make and a script I wanted to finish.  I have characters I WANTED TO PLAY.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I actually tried to tell my parents I HAD A PLAN.  It is so messed up that people want everyone in a cubicle or they are not working.  I watch a TV show about two people who live in a bed and breakfast haunted by ghosts and the woman is a freelance writer. I COULD DO THAT JOB.  I do not want to be a door mat. I CAN NOT BE A CELEBRITY RIGHT?  SO I CAN NEVER BE HIRED AS AN ACTOR? We have royalty now?  I wanted kids but it is a good thing I did not have any because they would not be allowed express themselves or be important. THEY WOULD JUST BE TOOLS FOR THE HOLLYWOOD ELITE.  I am a MEMBER OF SAG AFTRA but I am not allowed to privileges of SAG AFTRA because I was not born into a HOLLYWOOD FAMILY.  I want to be DEAD because of what AFTRA AND SAG DID TO ME. \\<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embed-pdf-viewer\" src=\"https:\/\/lauraanntull.com\/aftra\/GmailACTORSFUNDWorkshop.pdf\" height=\"750\" width=\"100%\" title=\"GmailACTORSFUNDWorkshop\"><\/iframe>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lauraanntull.com\/aftra\/GmailACTORSFUNDWorkshop.pdf\" title=\"GmailACTORSFUNDWorkshop\">GmailACTORSFUNDWorkshop<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is going to be a short email.
