Actress Michelle Williams tackles pay gap in Hollywood

American actress Michelle Williams went to the US Congress on Tuesday to call for a vote on a law that tackles the glaring wage gap between men and women, testifying to her own experience, who had seen her to be paid 1,500 times less than a male colleague.

Actress Michelle Williams tackles pay gap in Hollywood
Mark Wahlberg was paid $1.5million for the 10-day shoot while Michelle Williams made just $80-a-day for the same amount of work in the film ‘All the Money in the World.”

Named for four Oscars during her career, the actress of Manchester by the Sea (2016) and Brokeback Mountain (2005) had discovered at the end of 2017 that she had been paid significantly less than Mark Wahlberg for the same amount of work. 

It was a matter of urgently returning scenes from Ridley Scott’s movie All the money in the World, eliminated in order to expel Kevin Spacey, who held one of the main roles and had just been accused of assault, sexual abuse, and harassment.

“And if it happens to someone like me, a white woman in a golden sector, how much do my sisters suffer in their professions?” she asked herself.

This press conference was organized by Democratic House of Representatives to mark a day demanding equal pay. It was set this year as April 2, as this is the date on which women should, on average, work in the United States to catch up on men’s wages in 2018.

The Williams / Wahlberg affair had exploded when she was reported by her colleague Jessica Chastain on Twitter, gaining an echo all the more as she intervened in full wave #MeToo against sexual harassment.

Since then, Michelle Williams believes to finally be treated as an equal on the sets, she said Tuesday.
