Then why did she sign the contract?

So, she states she wasn't concerned with what she was paid but holds the studio at fault for not paying her more.

If my neighbor gets a better deal on a car than me, is that the car dealer's fault?

I declare war on the war on women!

    John, I don't think the vote count represented the votes cast. More than manipulation, it was fraud

    if you subtracted the manipulations like the lies about Benghazi
    and so forth, you are right. . I'm sure. -- j

    I liked her portrayal in Mamma Mia, but I didn't get the same pay
    as the guy at my plant who had 50 inventions to my one. -- j

    Just watched the YouTube clip from ComiCon with Halle Barrie about "Extant." Her comments about TV versus Big Screen are great!

    It reminds me of Robert Young from the old "Marcus Welby, MD" TV show. He made some commercials hawking Excedrin or some such, where he stands there in a white lab coat and a stethoscope around his neck and he says, "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV, and I think you should take this for your headache" (or whatever). Wait a minute...you're a TV actor and we should take medical advice from you? At least we knew he was merely an actor in a commercial, but when the likes of Alex Baldwin screams at people regarding who (or more specifically, who NOT to vote for), I question the sanity of our political process. You're an actor, and that makes your views on politics more insightful than mine, why?

    It's probably because the movies she starred in were only worth 1/10th the price of admission (like most movies, now days).

    Is it fair to assume that her agent negotiates her pay? If so, perhaps she could discuss the matter that makes her unhappy with her agent, and if appropriate, dismiss him or her.

    Fools like her give women a bad name. If she is too stupid to read the contact, tough stuff. I'm guessing they paid her what they thought she was worth. what's next, a law that requires a studio to tell their actors what the other actors are making?

    I got a better question. Who would have thought that the voters of this country would vote the idiot in the White House to be President? TWICE! I don't know how many more such debacles this country can survive.

    Well, maybe she's got only 10% of the acting skills as well...

    What she's really asking is wage control. That way, she will be paid within a few percent of anyone else. Let's start with me as a standard wage - $1,000 / mo. ...

    She should get whatever she can negotiate; "fair" is certainly not the appropriate word. Some women simply want govt. to force employers to pay the same as men. Perhaps they need to band together to request more or find an "equal opportunity" employer. Or perhaps the movie public is attracted more to the male actors and the women are not worth the same to the production co.s.

    I am totally amazed. I saw a quote from Ren and Stimpy.

    Ren said: "Stimpy sometimes your wealth of ignorance astounds me."

    With Obama being the worse president ever beating out Jimmy Carter, it is clear to me Jimmy Carter was proud of his prior status is ns entering the scene again making statements that to me, seem to be directed at taking back his status as the stupidest and worse ever president.

    Just like our public education system, a race to be the worse.

    Obama should read the "art of the deal" before he steps out of the country to negotiate with foreign nations. He is the worst president EVER

    I don't have an issue with her complaining. This is just information. As long as she s=doesn't demand legislation.

    I can't wait until Hollywood has to deal with the same hiring practices the rest of the businesses in the country do.
    You are too fat to be our receptionist -vs- you are too fat to be the vixen in the next movie.
    We need an Asian for this position in Korea-vs- You are white. We need an Asian for this part as a samuri.
    Just amazing what Hollywood does, and then actors and actresses get up and talk a bout discrimination. If it weren't for discrimination or nepotism, every single person in Hollywood would be different.

    people who chose to become actors to earn a living love the glory of being seen and some love to be heard. when you do hear what they have to say you understand why they became actors, so they can say what ever is in the script, they do not have to think because when ever they open their mouths you find out that don't think and what they say is my proof.

    Method acting. Their characters pull that kind of stunt, so they think they can get away with it in real life.

    All joking aside: why indeed did she sign the contract? It's for her to get better advice than she got to begin with.

    Beautiful eyes...I'm just sayin'...

    “It’s not about how much you get, it’s about how fair it is.”....Um, no. It's about how much you get.

    Maybe her latest male co-star will point out the massive unfair discrepancy in her higher pay and how it is an obvious plot against men in films.
    He would have to be half black and half latino for it to be picked up by the media though, and then it would be racist, not gender.
