Actor Brooke Shields has been elected president of Actors’ Equity Association, the union has announced. Shields took the lead in a three-way race, beating out stage manager Erin Maureen Koster and actor Wydetta Carter.
Actors’ Equity is represents 51,000 actors and stage managers. Shields succeeds Kate Shindle as president, who announced in April that she would not seek re-election when her nine-year tenure ended May 23.
Shindle has said that she will remain active in the labor movement but now intends to focus on resuming her acting career, noting that the unpaid position of president left her with so little time for acting that she had not been able to clock enough professional hours to quality for Equity health insurance.
Shields’ win was confirmed this morning by Equity, which announced the results of its 2024 Officer and Councilor Election. In total, 45 council seats across all three regions and representing four categories (principal actor, chorus actor, stage manager and at-large) were filled, effective immediately.
