Members of the Casa Bonita United union met up at the iconic restaurant last Friday to eat lunch and chat with their fellow entertainment workers before delivering a letter to management.
Only they didn’t deliver the letter: Brooke Shields, actress and president of Actors' Equity Association, did.
The union called on Shields, star of "Pretty Baby" and "The Blue Lagoon" to have a late lunch in the giant pink entertainment complex. With a reservation under a different name, the goal was to surprise management and bring attention to the union's demands. Shields sat at the end of the table, and actors both on and off the clock stopped by to speak with the actress.
