Kathleen Nolan(I)

In 1975, Kathy Nolan was the first woman ever elected as president of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG).

When I was six years old, I negotiated a raise for myself with the captain of the showboat because I was making 50 cents and everybody else was earning $2.50 a night and I didn't think that was right. So I went to him on my own and I not only ended up with my raise but everybody went up to $3.00. I guess that was my first negotiation.
