10.Jennifer Lawrence,25,is known for being d.own"to"earth and likable-she ordered McDonald's on the red carpet at the Oscars.And when she described her anger and disappointment at the fact that women are not equal to men in Hollywood,Lawrence"continued to make America fall in love with her",said Business Insider.
Earlier this year,an E-mail from film company Sony Pictures showed that Lawrence and Amy Adams made less money for American Hustle(2013)than their male(男性) co*stars,even though both women played major roles in the movie.
In an article published in Lenny Letter,a popular e-mail newsletter,Lawrence wrote"I'm trying to find the‘adorable(可爱的) way to state my opinion and still be likable'!"
Lawrence joins a long list of actresses,including Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett,who have spoken up about Hollywood's pay gap.
According to Forbes,the 10 highest paid movie actors in 2015,led by Robert Downey Jr,made$431 million.But the 10 highest paid movie actresses,led by Lawrence,only made about $218 million.The pay gap comes partly from the low number of actresses.According to a report in August,only 28.1 percent of characters in 2014's 100 top grossing(高票房的) films were female(女性) and of them,only 21 percent had a female lead or co-lead character.
"People with more experience are paid more,"Nancy Dubue,the president CEO of A+E Networks,told Variety,"The problem is that the industry still gives too many men that experience."
The pay gap is a problem that affects the whole US,The White House reported that women earn 78 cents to every dollar a man gets there.
"This is what made Lawrence's piece powerful:it showed that women still experience pay inequality everywhere-whether you're Hollywood's top talent or you work in a retail store,"commented CNN.
As Lawrence points out,it's not just about less payment for women; it's also about women making sure that their pay shows their value.
