Too many women on the set?

Ever since her start, working on the set of A Different World, Prince-Bythewood, has worked in environments filled with women. Still, she didn’t know how all-female cast was going to respond to one another. But it turns out everybody was humble and down for the cause.

“I think the thing that drew everyone . . . everyone came aboard for no money, I mean, no money. [laughs] And that really set the tone, I think. We’re all here because we love this movie, and if we don’t take huge cuts in pay, it doesn’t get made–and that means films like this don’t get made. Everyone coming in with that belief just made it. It was a great set.”
