Actresses Elizabeth Perkins and Frances Fisher were among those who came out on Sunday to take part in a #MeToo march in Hollywood, with the Weeds star holding up a sign naming the actor James Woods.
Hundreds of people turned out for Take Back The Workplace and #Metoo Survivors marches to support victims of sexual assault and harassment, inspired by a social media campaign that has portrayed such abuse as a pervasive feature of American life.
Perkins marched at the front of the line alongside former local Fox News reporter Lauren Sivan, who is among the women who allege they were sexually harassed by disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
The Take Back the Workplace March and the #MeToo Survivors March joined forces in the heart of Hollywood, near the entrance to the Dolby Theater where the Academy Awards take place.
They walked side by side past the tourists, costume shops, strip clubs and a man wearing a 'Whiskey Made Me Do It' T-shirt to gather for a rally of rousing speeches from the likes of Harvey Weinstein accuser Lauren Sivan and Oscar-winning producer Cathy Schulman.
'Not in pots, not in plants, keep your junk inside your pants,' the crowd chanted for a few minutes, before shifting gears to: 'Harvey Weinstein is a joke, women workers just got woke.'
Other chants included, 'Survivors united, we'll never be divided' and 'Whatever we wear, wherever we go, "yes" means "yes" and "no" means "no".'
As she marched along, Perkins, 56, at one point held up a handwritten sign that said: 'James Woods #MeToo.'
In September, actress Amber Tamblyn called Woods 'predatory', saying he tried to pick her and a friend up at a Las Vegas bar when she was 16. Responding, Woods accused Tamblyn of lying.

Lots of lesbian prison guards. Knew one who got into a physical fight with TX Governor Ann Richards’ girlfriend. Nasty.
That’s what Ho-wood is all about.
What surprises me is how they defended Bill Clinton but threw everybody else under the bus.
There’s a HUGE difference between verbally making a pass at someone and physically assaulting someone and this woman is going around as if Woods physically assaulted her when he didn’t and that’s if it even happened!
A biological fact of life is that if men didn’t “make a pass” at women the human race would not procreate.
There is a female trait to let the man be the aggressor in the mating game so that she can tell herself that it’s “not my fault” for anything that happens later sitting on the sofa with him.
Now trying to pick women up in bars is sexual harassment. What was a 16 year old doing in a bar? Not buying it. I would try to pick James Woods up in a bar. :-)
The off-hand remark by Wood’s when she said she was 16 sounds to me like a face-saving remark........ Woods berating himself for not realizing she was 16.

‘James Woods #MeToo.’
Am I reading this right? Is she saying “James Woods pound me, too”?
She was at a bar at 16 years old? And she’s shocked that someone hit on her? She’s a big bag ‘o’ dumbass if she didn’t expect that.
I always wondered how it was being the target of a purge, like the Jews in Hitler’s Germany, and what means they would use today.
Now I know. Lies, lies, lies from their Father of Lies.
What was she doing in a bar at age 16, and how would it be a crime for Woods to try “to pick her up”.
Did he tell her she was attractive? Or conk her on the head and attempt to drag her to his room? Big difference.
