Hollywood Pounds Out Tentative Deal With Actors

LOS ANGELES — Hollywood actors reached a tentative contract agreement Tuesday night that will likely avert a crippling walkout for the TV and movie industry, the two sides said in a joint statement.

The deal recommended by negotiators for the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists must be approved by a majority of the unions’ 135,000 members.

Terms of the agreement were not immediately disclosed.

Negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents studios and networks, began May 15 and progressed slowly until the final days before the deadline.
