Broadway boss told me to f-k off ask for equal pay with male costume
Sienna Miller said that one of the “extremely influential” executives on Broadway once told her to “fuck off” over the equal pay dispute.
The 40-year-old star of Anatomy of a Scandal said she was offered “less than half” of what her male costume earned a few years ago per play in New York City.
“I told the producer who was extremely powerful, it’s not about the money – it’s about honesty and respect, thinking they would come back and say,” Of course, of course. ” But they didn’t, ”said Miller British Vogue. “They just said, ‘Fuck off then.’
The British actress, who was born in New York, described it as a “turning point” in her career, which made her realize that “she has every right to equal subsidies for the work that I would do.”
Admitting that she did not “want to be malicious” by exposing the director and the production, Miller said that initially she “felt terrible about herself and ashamed” that she had to ask for more money.
Though she didn’t talk about the play, Miller only starred in two Broadway shows – “Cabaret” in 2014 and “After Miss Julie” in 2009.
Years later, Miller still had to contend with unfair pay on projects.
After landing a role in the 2019 movie “21 Bridges” opposite the late Chadwick Boseman, Miller noticed a significant wage gap between the couple.
Boseman eventually cut her salary in an attempt to raise Miller’s salary, which she described as an “extraordinary” gesture.
“It meant the world,” she recalled, she told the deceased star “Black Panther”, who died in 2020 at the age of 43 after battling cancer.
“He came up to me as we packed and said,” You paid what you deserved, “she said.
The actress said it was “the most amazing thing I’ve experienced” in the entertainment industry. Boseman also produced the 2019 film.
“These things just don’t happen,” she continued. “You just can’t imagine another man in this town behaving so kindly or respectfully … There was no gimmicky, it was,” Of course, I’ll take you to that number because that’s what you should get. “
