Los Angeles — Hollywood scribes met with studio executives Friday for the first time since the Writer's Guild of America went on strike just over three months ago.

The more than 11,000 film and television writers that make up the WGA have been on strike since early May. In mid-July, they were joined on the picket lines by the approximately 65,000 actors in the Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, SAG-AFTRA, a move that has shuttered nearly all scripted Hollywood production.

It marks the first time since 1960 that both guilds have been on strike simultaneously. The economic impact has been especially heightened in California, where film and television production accounts for more than 700,000 jobs and nearly $70 billion a year in wages, according to the California Film Commission.

"We are really fighting for the rights of the people who are working and living in the city," Burbank Mayor Konstantine Anthony told CBS News. "And that's really who I represent. I didn't get voted in by studios."

Anthony is also an actor along with being mayor of Burbank, which is home to several studios, including Disney and Warner Bros.

"If people aren't coming to work, if people are on strike, they're not spending money at their local grocery store," Anthony said. "All of those secondary industries are greatly affected by the loss of that income."

That includes Alex Uceda's catering company, which feeds Hollywood production crews.

"At the end of last year, we were working like 10, 11 jobs every day," Uceda said. "It drops to maybe one or two jobs now."

Uceda, who estimates he has lost about 70% of his business in that time, has had to lay off nearly half his employees since the WGA strike began.

Several big stars — including the likes of Oprah, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep and Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson — have each made donations of $1 million or more to the SAG-AFTRA's financial assistance program.

"I beg all the people from the studio, please, please make it happen, you know, for the good of everyone," Uceda said.

Both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA are negotiating separately with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the group that represents all the major Hollywood studios. Among the most hotly-contested issues for both groups are residuals from streaming services and the use of artificial intelligence.

Earlier this week, the WGA informed its members that Carol Lombardini, AMPTP president, had reached out and "requested" Friday's meeting "to discuss negotiations."

"I think it's hopeful, because it's been crickets, it's been silent for a long time," SAG-AFTRA member Chad Coe told CBS News of Friday's meeting.

Paramount Pictures, one of the studios involved in the negotiations, and CBS News are both part of Paramount Global. Some CBS News staff are SAG-AFTRA or Writers Guild members, but their contracts are not affected by the strikes.

It’s never easy to replace a beloved eatery, but Zach Hall’s Clark Street Diner has improved upon the fabled 101 Coffee Shop with great coffee, fluffy pancakes, and patty melts, all served in a buzzy dining room.

Valley-based Sincerely Syria took over Hollywood Shawarma in late 2021, and Adham Kamal’s shawarma at this Hollywood outpost is as great as it is in Sherman Oaks. Order the shawarma wrap with rotisserie beef, lamb, or chicken. Every wrap gets a bit of tahini, diced tomatoes, and pickled cucumber spears before meeting the griddle.

Martinis done right and a menu that’s barely changed since 1919 has kept Musso & Frank relevant and running for over a century. Grab a booth and dig into continental favorites like mushrooms on toast, seafood chiffonade salad, and turkey á la king.

Located on the fifth floor of the expansive Ovation Hollywood complex, Uka at Japan House comes from decorated chefs Yoshitaka Mitsue and Shingo Kato. The refined nine-course kaiseki menu is priced at around $300 per person (before tip and tax), with wine and sake pairings available for about $120 per person.

It’s always great to have a go-to dumpling spot, especially when it’s the second location of San Gabriel’s Hui Tou Xiang. The namesake hui tou dumplings filled with pork or beef are nothing short of excellent.

Nab a table at Mother Wolf for a taste of chef Evan Funke’s ode to Rome. The room is boisterous and full of well-dressed diners, while the tables are topped with plenty of pasta and pizzas. Invite the amaro cart over for a post-dinner digestif to pair with Shannon Swindle’s unbeatable desserts.

Ixlb Dimsum Eats is considered one of the finest options for dim sum outside of the San Gabriel Valley. The takeout-only spot serves up Cantonese classics including har gow and sui mai, along with Taiwanese-style shaved ice for dessert.

Chef Curtis Stone’s Michelin-starred steakhouse, which operates as a neighborhood butcher during daytime hours, makes for a celebratory destination in the heart of Hollywood. Start with the house-made charcuterie before diving into fine cuts of beef, like the 30-day aged ribeye.

Luv2eat Thai Bistro stands out in a crowded Thai restaurant market for its well-executed southern cooking from chefs Noree Pla and Fern Kaewtathip. The Phuket-style crab curry, jade noodles, and hat yai fried chicken are popular with regulars.

RoRo’s Chicken has all the strip mall ambiance that an LA diner can hope for, from the faded menu board highlighting rotisserie chicken and kababs. The best bet for this longtime Lebanese restaurant is the half chicken plate, served with rice, hummus, and salad, and a steal at well under $14.

There’s never a bad time to swing into Chris Phelps’s all-day restaurant. The chef’s signature oat griddle cakes are served for breakfast and lunch, while dinner brings thoughtfully sourced and seasonally driven fare. The pork chop with apple sauce and brown butter is always a good call.

Even as developers transform Hollywood’s iconic streets, some places like Jones remain comfortingly unchanged. The menu of Italian American hits includes ravioli, bruschetta, thin-crust pizza, and of course, spaghetti and meatballs. It’s impossible to have a bad meal at this nearly 30-year-old restaurant.

New York’s legendary restaurant Rao’s has settled in nicely on the West Coast. The Hollywood menu is chock-full of Italian American classics including plump meatballs, veal Parmesan, and cheesecake. Dine with a crowd and sample a bit of everything.

Find Mother Tongue perched atop the 75,000-square-foot, five-level fitness club called Heimat in Hollywood. Chef Fernando Darin draws myriad influences from Asia, South America, the Middle East, and more. (Heimat’s facilities and services can only be accessed by club members, the restaurant is open to the public daily.)

Two-Michelin-starred Providence serves one of the most elegant seafood-centric tasting menus in the city. The dining room is packed almost every evening thanks to chef Michael Cimarusti’s exceptional cooking which is only matched by Donato Poto’s warm and efficient service.

Los Angeles County has 88 cities. Ten million people. Two hundred-plus languages spoken.

And a nine-letter sign that, for much of the world, defines the entire region: HOLLYWOOD.

Los Angeles has long been regarded as the global “company town” for show business, and as a rare actors’ strike upended the signature industry this week, the potential for cascading economic impacts across Southern California has emerged as a critical local issue. But economists disagree on just how extensively the simultaneous actors’ and writers’ strikes will be felt.

Even by the most generous estimates, Hollywood has never supported more than about 5 percent of employment in a region where many more people work in trade, health care, government and even Southern California’s diminished manufacturing sector. Yet Hollywood pervades Los Angeles life in ways as big as a movie backdrop or as small as a street detour on some awards night.

For many, the ceased productions and darkened premieres are not just a threat to the flow of dollars to restaurants and retailers that cater to film crews, but also a blow to the region’s cultural heart.

“To the extent that Hollywood defines America’s idea of where I live, Hollywood’s troubles become my troubles,” said D.J. Waldie, a cultural historian in Southern California. “When Hollywood stops, a great many things stop here, and not just a few studios.”

During the 2007 screenwriters’ strike, the California economy lost $2.1 billion, according to one study. The last time unionized screenwriters and actors staged dual walkouts, in 1960, the strikes did not settle for nearly six months.

Economists on Friday said the length of the two strikes will largely determine its financial impact on Los Angeles, though some were more optimistic than others.

Lee Ohanian, an economics professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, who has written extensively about California, estimated that about 20 percent of the local economy could be hit, in part because the industry generates so much revenue and has so many highly compensated local employees.

Chris Thornberg, a founding partner at the Los Angeles consulting firm Beacon Economics, said the strikes might not be felt locally for a long time because so much of show business has been focused on exploiting and distributing existing content.

“As long as people are paying for Hulu and buying Disney movies online, we’re making money,” Dr. Thornberg said. “Eventually, there will come a time when the lack of content will start to pinch, but this is a slow boil, not a rapid one.”

The mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, made it clear that she considered the labor standoff to be an urgent local issue and called on the studios and unions to “work around the clock” to reach an equitable agreement.

“This affects all of us and is essential to our overall economy,” Mayor Bass said.

Less tangible is the potential impact on Southern California’s self image. Show business is wrapped up in the region’s civic identity in ways that are unparalleled in less-renowned cities.

An audience of 18.7 million people this year tuned in to the Academy Awards, Los Angeles’ best known office party. Backdrops from Venice Beach to the Sixth Street Viaduct are regarded locally with pride as stars in their own right. Homeowners from the San Fernando Valley to South Pasadena run lucrative side hustles, renting their houses for film shoots and ads.

Though most of the famous names live in mansions behind gates, few Angelenos, even in far-flung exurbs, are without a celebrity story — the producer spotted in Joshua Tree, the famous face in the next lane in traffic.

“Everywhere I go, people ask me the same question: What stars have I met?” said Stephen Cheung, the president and chief executive of the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation. “Nobody would ask me that if I were from another city.”

Born in Hong Kong, Mr. Cheung, 44, said that he saw his first real celebrity in Los Angeles when he was about 10, through a car window. “We were near the convention center in downtown, and all of a sudden, a car pulled up and I saw Madonna get out.”

Many also know stars the way anyone knows anyone in the nation’s second-largest city: as neighbors or fellow parents or people walking their dogs. Entertainers sponsor local schools, embark on second careers as politicians, stump for state ballot initiatives and occasionally get into scrapes with the mayor for trying to fill their own potholes.

Democratic leaders throughout the liberal state have long been supportive; earlier this month, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California extended a $330 million-a-year film and television tax credit program to encourage studios to keep productions at home.

Certain communities share a special bond.

“We have a lot of studio people who live in Burbank,” Mimi House, a retired medical clinic administrative worker, said on Thursday while lunching with a group of fellow retirees in the Los Angeles suburb’s “beautiful downtown” shortly after leaders of the actors’ union, known as SAG-AFTRA, announced the walkout.

Without the entertainment industry, Burbank would be a “ghost town,” added Virginia Bohr, a retired accountant at the table with Ms. House. Local officials recently renamed their airport Hollywood Burbank, though Hollywood is technically a neighborhood in Los Angeles, a separate city.

The region has long attracted show business aspirants from around the world who hope to catch their big break. Many scrape by for years before they find work outside the entertainment industry.

Thomas Whaley, a veteran teacher who for 23 years has coordinated an extensive visual and performing arts curriculum at the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, credited the entertainment community for drawing him to the region and helping to ensure the longstanding success of his program, which has become a statewide model for the breadth and quality of its offerings. Were it not for the local concentration of talent, he said, he might never have ended up in the job he has come to cherish.

“I moved to L.A. to play trombone for film and TV in 1990,” said Mr. Whaley, who grew up in Rhode Island and studied to become a studio musician on full scholarships at Berklee College of Music in Boston and the University of Miami. “My mother kept saying, Come home, Rhode Island’s great, and I was like, Mom, they don’t have what I need.”

Other Angelenos feel a disconnect with an industry whose workers have long been concentrated in parts of the city that are more affluent and white.

In Mid-City, a Los Angeles neighborhood several miles south of Hollywood that is predominantly Latino and Black, Rachel Johnson and Rosario Gomez, both 17, were more interested in frozen fruit treats from the local paleta shop than in the demands of Hollywood strikers.

“It’s the least of our concerns,” Ms. Johnson said of the picket lines, noting the struggling mom-and-pop businesses on their streets, rising rents and persistent homeless encampments.

“Yeah, there are bigger problems here, like gentrification,” Ms. Gomez added.

Nearby at La Cevicheria, a tiny eatery on Pico Boulevard, Yejoo Kim, 29, who works in geopolitics, agreed that Hollywood “can feel worlds apart,” even for Angelenos who were born and raised in the city, as she was.

But she and her roommate, David Choi, 27, also pointed to the large immigrant communities in Los Angeles that have been reflected with care in recent years in film and television.

“I feel a sense of solidarity,” said Mr. Choi, a novelist interested in the pay standards that Hollywood sets for its writers. “I’d be happy to participate in a boycott of a show.”
