12) The Hollywood Pay Gap Debate (2015)
Trending
Jennifer Lawrence ignited the Hollywood pay gap debate in 2015 after writing an essay about earning less than her male co-stars for American Hustle. Lawrence’s transparency, coupled with leaked Sony emails exposing wage disparities, led to a larger discussion about gender inequality in Hollywood. Many actresses, including Meryl Streep and Patricia Arquette, voiced their support, calling for equal pay. While some studios have since addressed wage discrepancies, the issue persists, with advocates continuing to push for transparency and parity in pay across the industry.
