What Happened To Sarah Rafferty After Suits Ended

Sarah Rafferty starred as Donna Paulsen in the USA Network television series Suits, which ended in 2019, but what has she been up to since?

The fallout from the strike has claimed another casualty and could claim several more. Those eagerly awaiting one of the year's most anticipated blockbusters will have to wait an extra four months. After weeks of rumors, Dune: Part Two has officially been delayed from its November 3 release, and a likely Oscar run to March 14, 2024, and already the social media outcry has been overwhelming. The disappointment seems nearly unanimous, and the question on everyone's lips is, "Why"? Why Was It Delayed? The simple answer for the delay is that the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes make it all but impossible for Warner Bros., Denis Villeneuve, and the cast of Dune to mount the publicity campaign they all want. For the SAG-AFTRA strike specifically, one of the key rules is that not only are actors not permitted to film any new projects during the work stoppage, but they're also barred from publicity of their current, past, and upcoming projects.
