Octavia Spencer told Jessica Chastain about women of color’s salaries, and here’s what she did

Jessica Chastain is here to prove to you that Time’s Up is more than just a pin and a website. When her Academy Award-winning costar Octavia Spencer wanted to discuss the gender wage gap in Hollywood and how severely it affects women of color, Chastain was shocked and spurred to action.

“She said, ‘You and I are gonna be tied together,'” Spencer said at a Sundance Panel. “‘We’re gonna be favored nations, and we’re gonna make the same thing, you are going to make that amount.’ Fast-forward to last week, we’re making five times what we asked for.”
