JESSICA CHASTAIN DEMANDED EQUAL PAY FOR OCTAVIA SPENCER
Speaking at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, Spencer revealed that her The Help costar helped her get five times her salary for their upcoming movie together. During the actresses' conversation about equal pay, Spencer told Chastain women of colour make far less than white women. "I told her my story, and we talked numbers, and she was quiet, and she said she had no idea that that's what it was like for women of colour," Spencer recalled.
Spencer got emotional and began to cry as she told the story — she called her outpouring "happy tears."
"I love that woman, because she's walking the walk and she's actually talking the talk," Spencer gushed of Chastain. "She said, 'Octavia we're gonna get you paid on this film. You and I are gonna be tied together. We're gonna be favoured nations, and we're gonna make the same thing.' Fast forward to last week, we're making five times what we asked for."
Heck we love them BOTH!
