Most alarming examples of Hollywood’s gender pay gap
In a 2017 interview with Marie Claire, Natalie Portman revealed that she was paid just a fraction of Ashton Kutcher’s salary for their rom-com “No Strings Attached,” in which they both play lead roles and share a majority of scenes.
“I knew and I went along with it because there’s this thing with ‘quotes’ in Hollywood,” she explained. “His [quote] was three times higher than mine so they said he should get three times more. I wasn’t as pissed as I should have been. I mean, we get paid a lot, so it’s hard to complain, but the disparity is crazy.”
“Compared to men, in most professions, women make 80 cents to the dollar,” she continued. “In Hollywood, we are making 30 cents to the dollar.”
