An Oscar winner, Octavia Spencer shared that more than once, other people had to speak up to help her get paid what she deserved compared to her co-stars. For the Netflix Madame CJ Walker biopic on the way, executive producer LeBron James intervened to help negotiate her pay. And while working on a film with actress Jessica Chastain, that actress helped Spencer get paid five times what she was offered.
“Jessica and I stood together, and that was interesting that she would take that position…but we also need advocates and allies in negotiating.”
