10) Robin Wright in House of Cards
Trending
Robin Wright brought gravitas and sass to Netflix's House of Cards as Claire Underwood, but apparently, she wasn't worth as much as co-star Kevin Spacey when she signed on. Though she appeared with equal billing in the credits, Wright had to fight for equal pay, threatening a public announcement of the salary discrepancy. Her advocacy paid off: her compensation was raised. Later, after the series shifted focus to her character because of Spacey's departure, Wright's leadership on and off-screen underscored resilience and dedication to challenging industry norms around pay inequality.
