Chester L Migden, a lawyer whose work for the Screen Actors Guild helped to establish the principle of paying actors for repeat showings of’ the television programs, feature films and commercials they appear in -- a practice that produces nearly $1 billion today -- died on Sunday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 78. Born in New York on May 21,1921, Mr. Migden graduated from Columbia [,aw School in 1947 and became a staff attorney for the National Labor Relations Board in New York. He soon joined the Guild in Las Angeles.
As recently as the 1970s, when the weekly minimum wage for actors was about $1,200, they received little or no compensation for multiple usage of their appearances. In contract negotiations, Mr. Migden argued that actors should receive a fair share of the revenue generated not only by free television or first-time theatrical usage but by reruns and supplemental markets like video cassettes and disks, and basic and pay cable television.
