Robin Wright sagt, ‚House of Cards‘ sagte zu ihr, dass wir dir nicht gleich ‚wie Kevin Spacey‘ bezahlen können, weil du keinen Oscar gewonnen hast. ‚

Well, sure. That makes sense.

Well yeah. Frank was an essential part of what made the show great. Kevin Spacey def had some shitty stuff come out but no one will deny that he was the driving force of the entire show.

If you don’t believe me Robin, look at the last season. It fucking sucked. You can’t replace someone like Frank.

EDIT: the article doesn’t say it but Spacey was paid 500K per episode. Wright 420K.

Wright is a great artist, but without Spacey the show tanked in the first 10 mins of season 6.

I mean, he has an academy award and was an A list actor, a major draw for the show along with Fincher. She’s experienced and popular sure, but not his level.

And then to help balance it out they made her an executive producer and helped train her as a director, then let her direct? Allowing her to expand her experience and career into new realms that she has since continued to explore?

I dunno, sounds like a damn good deal to me.

Unfair, gender based pay imbalances exist absolutely, but this doesn’t seem like one to me based on this article 🤷

Edit to add: Just a guess, but I would not be shocked if Spacey had it as a requirement that in order to do the show, he would have to be the highest paid actor in the show, which would explain the „We can’t pay you more as an actor, but we can give you other titles and seperate paycheques to even things out“ line.

Not gonna lie, as troubled as he might be now, I was *really* into that show for Spacey. He made the show, and when he left I lost all interest.

I was hired as a non-speaking extra on a dog movie and they would not budge on my demands to be paid the same as Will Ferrell gets paid giving some bullshit excuse that Will Ferrell wasn’t even in the movie and my work day was 8 hours. My agents finally reached an agreement that I would be paid scale but could eat some free sandwiches at craft services and they’d give me 50% of the back end.

She should have said, “Bitch, I was Princess Buttercup. Eat my ass.”

Kevin Spacey sucks and I love Robin Wright, but he was the main character of the show. I can’t even remember her name on the show.

I think it would be more enlightening to see what women make on shows where they’re the main character compared to their supporting cast. Like did Jennifer Garner on Alias get paid less than some of her supporting cast? Because that would be real bullshit.

This was posted like two days ago, why is it constantly being reposted?

Kinda sucks that Spacey is a shitty human being. I do miss how good all his movies were. What could have been…

Yeah Spacey really mesmerized me from the first scene on that show. It’s a shame how it turned out. Season 6 was awful.

Who cares, she was Princess Buttercup. That should count as an award
