‘Princess Diaries’ Star Heather Matarazzo Joins Netflix Actor in Desperate Plea
Matarazzo said she may miss SAG-AFTRA’s $28,090 earnings cutoff for 2026 health coverage and asked for acting work on Threads.
- Princess Diaries star Heather Matarazzo revealed she may not qualify for health insurance if she does not find work soon, responding to fellow actor Jack Haven's public plea for employment.
- SAG-AFTRA members must meet a minimum earnings threshold to qualify for coverage, with requirements set at $28,090 for 2026 and rising to $28,933 in 2027, with further increases scheduled through 2030.
- In a video posted this week, Jack Haven stated they were in 'a bit of an emergency situation' needing $4,000 by the end of September, prompting Matarazzo to write, 'I am literally in the same boat right now.'
- Booking projects in the entertainment industry is often unpredictable, creating gaps between employment opportunities that make meeting coverage thresholds difficult, even for actors with extensive film and television credits.
- Haven revealed on Tuesday they received enough offers to secure insurance, while Matarazzo recalled a time when union members did not need to meet a minimum to qualify for coverage.
