Taraj P. Henson Earned the best actress actress Oscar for 2008 A curious case of Benjamin BattonBut years later, she was still fired $ 150,000, which she accepted in the film – after the producers rejected a quote of $ 500,000, which she brought to the table.
As for the leaders of the film Brad Pitt And Kate Blanchett“You no longer hear a lot of quotes for $ 20 million, but at present it has happened,” Henson said on Ladies first with Laura Brown Podcast in 2021. “And rightfully – I am not saying that they should not pay Kate and Brad what they deserved.”
But she continued: “I also bring a certain amount to the place, and I felt that what I was asking at that time in my career was fair, it was fair in relation to the sales of tickets that I would bring into this big film. I will not do this. ” She recalled, Henson was “gutted” when they offered $ 100,000. “When all this was said and done, I received $ 150,000, but I had to swallow my pride, baby.”
Breaking it: “I know that people are leaving,“ $ 150,000, this is a lot of money! “, – Henson admitted. “I never want people to think that I am ungrateful because it is not me.” But she calculated: “Uncle Sam is going to take 50 percent of this, so now you have what? 75,000 dollars. Now that Uncle Sam takes money, I have to pay my team before taxes, 30 percent. So, as soon as Uncle Sam took him 75, then I got another 30, what came out of this 75, so I could earn $ 40,000 ”?
