Outspoken Asner’s Activism Is No Act

Published on August 4, 2005

Yitzhak Edward Asner vocally opposes the war in Iraq, a position that has probably angered some fans of the 76-year-old actor. But that's nothing new for Asner, whose political activism, years earlier, may have cost him the best acting job he ever had -- the role of journalist Lou Grant in two separate award-winning television series.

Asner's unshrinking activism, his willingness to use his fame as a platform for causes he considers vital, made him a logical choice for Women's American ORT's Tikkun Olam Award to be presented at a luncheon on Sunday, Aug. 7, at the Beverly Hilton. The goal of the award is recognize those who honor the concept of tikkun olam, or repairing the world.

"Our Tikkun Olam Award is given to an individual who has demonstrated commitment to strengthening the community," said Judy Menikoff, the charitable organization's national president. "Ed Asner has consistently dedicated himself to the rights of the working performer and labor rights issues, as well as advocating for human rights, world peace and political freedom. We feel he represents our ideals and commitments."
