Michelle Williams was asked to play the mom of the kidnapped heir in the film All the Money in the World. She was paid nowhere near what her male co-stars received, especially Mark Wahlberg, who received $1.5 million in reshoots. Williams herself received less than $1,000 for reshoots. Despite this pay gap, Williams showed unwavering commitment to the project, and her work received great acclamation. The pay gap initiated a conversation about pay equity in Hollywood and brought greater transparency into how actors are compensated for work.
