Robin Wright thinks she deserved Kevin Spacey money for house of cards

[Fedorgasm]

After Spacey got #metoo'd the final season featured Robin's character. And she actually thought she deserved to get paid the same as Spacey did since she was now the star.

Wright told Variety during the Monte-Carlo Television Festival that she had to fight to get paid the same as Spacey. “Yes, it was difficult. I am going to be honest,” she said. “When I said, ‘I think it’s only fair because my character became as popular as [Spacey’s], they said, ‘We can’t pay you the same as an actor, so we will make you exec producer and you can direct. We will give you three different paychecks.’ I asked, ‘Why can’t you pay me as an actor?’ ‘Because you didn’t win an Academy Award.’”

Is that the black chick from the Howard Stern show?

Is that the black chick from the Howard Stern show?

Exactly.

You say Kevin Spacey's name in a crowded room and everyone knows who he is.

You say Robin Wright's name and maybe one person recognizes it.

Yet she thinks she's worth Spacey money.

Her most famous role was Jenny from Forrest Gump. She's not even the main character in her most iconic role!

Good actress, but she's never been the star. And she argued that her character was more popular than spacey's. What a joke.

Oh, I knew I heard that name somewhere before, she also played Princess Buttercup in The Princess Bride, one of my all time favorite movies
Such an amazing, fun, heartwarming tale full of magic and packed with action, adventure and so many awesome memorable characters

Pay her imo

 

[TrueBias]

Considering hardly any of the House of Cards audience didnt watch the last season, while she took the lead, she deserved whatever she was paid.

 

[Cole train]

British version was better

British version was better

By a mile.

 

[PRIDEWASBETTER]

Spacey was, unequivocally the star of that show. Wright was the wife/First Lady, but show died when Spacey left. That final season was awful.

Sharon Stone made the claim she should have been paid similar money to Michael Douglas in Basic Instinct, despite not being well known and her name not being a draw.

I think this attitude extends to women's sports as well. Some people appear to not understand the 'butts in seats' concept of the entertainment industry

Well, to be fair, Sharon Stone is the reason men bought tickets to that movie. She has a far better argument than Robin Wright does IMO

True, but no one really new what they were getting until after they saw it, not so much from the trailer.

Plus she signed on for a fee that could have been snapped up by some other woman equally as good looking, in a heartbeat.
Maybe her agent should have gotten her a percentage

From all time good, sweet character, to all time evil character... at least she has range to her acting.

 

[Streeter]

She needs to Buckle up Buttercup.


Spacey was a fucking Elite actor and he made the entire show . Yeah hes a piece of shit as a human. but a Great actor.

"Have you seen that new Robin Wright show on Netflix? it's amazing, check it out."

-said nobody ever

Besides, she's Jenny which is basically hitler.

I don’t think you’re making a good argument here. People literally paid to see Sharon Stones cooter. Her going commando and leg crossing was like a watershed moment in cinema history! No one paid to see Michael Douglases wrinkly ass.

Has anyone officially confirmed that they watched the last season yet? I certainly skipped that one.

 

[Fluffernutter]

They should have

 

[DaleBoca]

After the entire Spacey debacle, she basically said “Kevin was never my friend…” No joke. She threw his ass under the bus super quickly.
