Years from now, I’ll probably sit down and binge-watch every season of House of Cards over one summer. For now though, I’m not watching it. I’ve heard all of the good things about it, and I know I would probably like it, so it’s more like I just haven’t gotten into it YET. I’ve always been familiar with the structure of the show and its portrait of a modern political marriage, a marriage based on necessity, respect, ice-cold bitchery and shared political goals. But I always felt pretty certain that Kevin Spacey was “the lead” and Robin Wright (who plays his wife) was a supporting player. But that wasn’t so. At least not in Robin’s mind. So she went in to producers and demanded equal pay to Spacey. And she got it!
Robin Wright says she demanded to paid the same amount as co-star Kevin Spacey for her work on the Netflix series House of Cards—and even said that if she were denied her request, she would go public about it. The 50-year-old actress made her comments during a discussion about human rights and equality at the Rockefeller Foundation in New York City Tuesday.
“I was like, ‘I want to be paid the same as Kevin,'” The Huffington Post quoted Wright as saying. “It was the perfect paradigm. There are very few films or TV shows where the male, the patriarch, and the matriarch are equal. And they are in House of Cards.”
“I was looking at the statistics and Claire Underwood’s character was more popular than [Frank’s] for a period of time,” she said. “So I capitalized on it. I was like, ‘You better pay me or I’m going to go public.’ And they did.”
House of Cards showrunners and Netflix have not commented. In addition to her leading acting role, Wright also serves as an executive producer on the political drama series and has also directed several episodes. Women working full-time in the United States only make about 79 percent of what men earn, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
“It’s not about learning, it’s about unlearning,” Wright said, according to the Rockefeller Foundation, adding that mothers face “significant natural barriers” in the workplace.
I don’t hate this. Even if Robin’s role in the show waxes and wanes, she’s sort of right about the popularity of her character, and how people are tuning in to see Robin do her thing. Plus… and I don’t want to sound mean or anything, but I really don’t imagine that Kevin Spacey’s paychecks were that much larger than hers. This is a (popular) show on Netflix, not network TV. I’m sure Spacey was/is making good money (he’s an executive producer too), but Spacey does the show because he likes the work, not because the paychecks are amazing. And as EP, I would be willing to bet that Spacey was like, “Yeah, Robin should get the same.” So kudos to the producers for hearing Robin’s demand and giving her what she was owed.

good for her for negoiating BUT its not equal pay. he is clearly the star and has a way bigger name and two oscars.
Scully and Mulder are equals for example and Jennifer Lawrence must get more money than Jeremy Renner but this is ridiculous.
its like Charlize Theron, she got the same amount of money for way less work in Snow White.
also threatening to go public and paint them as sexists to get more money is really shameful. And when she got the raise she still went public…thats messed up.
im really uncomfortable with very rich women playing dirty tricks to make more money and invoke womens rights to get more than their standing in hollywood would grant them. thats not feminism.
I really don’t see how it’s a dirty trick. Spacey may be more famous (questionable, princess buttercup forever), but their characters are now equals and both given equal consideration. Maybe at first she was a supporting player but not anymore.
Exactly. Spacey may have started as the star, but her character gets equal time and her work is just as great as his. They are equals on the show so they should be equals on the payroll.
I agree with you @nicole, both Frank and Claire are equal characters in the show, so they deserve equal paychecks, no matter how much more famous Spacey is.
see below: screen time matters not in Hollywood. Julia Roberts got 3 million $ for 4 days of work.
Well at least someone is standing up for rich male actors.
Ikr. wont someone just think of the white male superstars.
Also wasnt the argument played against the actresses that they dont fight as hard in the negotiation room as the men do? So Robin is saying she fought but now the MRA sympathizers think she fought too hard?
For what they are both doing on the show, she deserved a paycheck similar to his. Period. She’s right in that many people tune in to see Claire, not just Frank.
I don’t see her threat as a dirty trick or underhanded. If women keep quiet when we are told our pay will be less than a man’s, we will never get on equal footing.
+1 frankly, I find her character work on the show more impressive than his. And she is the co-lead, no question.
I’m so with you and cheering for her on this.
I started watching when the show first came out and I initially turned it off because they are terrible people. But “Claire” stuck with me and I started watching again and became a hardcore fan primarily because of Robin’s performance on the show.
I kind of disagree with every point you made. At this point, Claire is the show. She’s the brains, the judge, jury, and executioner.
–TheRealPinky
Claire is a really popular character and although she doesn’t break the fourth wall like Frank, her role in the last season in particular has been equal to if not greater than Frank’s, especially after the chaotic mess that happened mid-season where she was really holding the reigns. So I’d argue that yes, even though Spacey might be more famous, their characters are interdependent and symbiotic. Without Claire, HoC wouldn’t work.
Is it a ‘dirty trick’ for Wright to say she’d be public about how much she made? Is it really her ‘paint[ing] them as sexists’? Clearly they agreed that she deserved more money because they paid her equally to Spacey, and she’s obviously allowed to talk about the issue in public now.
I think the showrunners either realised that a) Wright was pulling virtually equal weight with Spacey, b) that Claire is as popular as Frank and/or b) that giving Wright equal pay and allowing her to be public about it was an easy PR boost for the show.
It is 100% well deserved equal pay. The show revolves around them as a political couple. Take her character away and it is a whole different story. The producers know this.
Frank and Claire’s relationship is the coolest love story ever.
“I love that woman. I love her more than sharks love blood.” – FU
I love Claire Underwood, my most memorable episode was in the first season, when she told that woman calmly ” I will deny you and your unborn child insurance, I will watch your baby die” This woman did not lift her voice or a finger but I was scared to death. Now that is a bad bitch!!!!!!!
Take her away and, frankly, it’s a show I don’t want to watch. She is fantastic and the entire show is about their dynamic as a couple.
@Cynthia, that was an amazing scene. That’s really the moment when you realize that, rather than a warm woman running a nonprofit married to a cold, calculating politician (yin to his yang and an image booster), Claire herself is as ruthless — or perhaps even more so — than Frank. All bets were off after that scene. So. Good.
i guess you dont watch the show. in the last season, her character had equal if not more screen time than spacey and in the show, just like in real life, claire underwood is more popular than frank. she deserves equal pay.
Wow. So much wrong in one post. Demanding equal pay is a dirty trick?It doesn’t really matter what either of them did before. They are clearly equals in this show and it wouldn’t be the same show without her. The entire plot revolves around their relationship. She makes him interesting and vulnerable and somewhat human and her character is deeply developed, arguably more so than his. Sounds like you’re really uncomfortable with very rich women and equal rights, period. I hope more women use whatever legal means they have at their disposal to be treated fairly, even if it means that the fair and generous white men of Hollywood feel uncomfortable for a moment. For centuries, women have been called greedy, unfair, shameful and messed up when they tried to be treated fairly, and often times its other women calling the names. Like now. THAT’S not feminism.
“It doesn’t really matter what either of them did before”
so you would be cool if Jennifer Lawrence and Seth Rogen made the same amount of money for equal screen time?
@Maria, for equal screen time. Yes. Rogen brings in box office. If they’re putting in the same amount of work and time, yes, equal pay.
so name recognition and award success dont count? (they do though in hollywood) she also has way better BO numbers.
its just not how Hollywood works. why do you think they spend money on award campaigns? because they’ll get the money back in promotion when they can mention the Oscar.
How did Julia Roberts get 3 Million $ for 4 !!! days of work? her status in Hollywood. im sure the others worked more than her and probably got less money.
screen time and work time has nothing to do with salary in Hollywood.
@Maria
If Jennifer and Seth had roles of equal importance in a movie or tv show, of course I would be “cool” with their receiving equal pay. That’s what equal pay IS. Get it? Equal pay for equal work. And yeah, I know that’s not how Hollywood works. That’s the point. That’s what people are trying to change. It’s not disgraceful, it’s not a dirty trick, it not shameful to ask for the same pay for the same work. It’s called fair. Equal.
I know people who have never paid money to see a Jennifer Lawrence film but are there on opening night for a Seth Rogan film. His box office is just fine considering he hasn’t done any major franchises like X-Men or Hunger Games. Jennifer’s other, more prestigious work doesn’t put butts in seats. So, yes, equal work, equal pay.
Goodnames: so you also think that it was wrong to pay Julia Roberts that much money compared to her co stars? 3 million for 4 days is hardly equal. im fine with it though because she is Julia Roberts and has a huge status in Hollywood and had an ever bigger standing not long ago.
by the way in Hollywood the “work” is in big part the promotion, its not comparable to an office job. thats why bigger stars get more money. otherwise a total unknown and tom hanks would get the same salary. it is NOT equal work because the attention brought is unequal. greenlighting a show with a two time oscar winner is also easier.
i really dont see the problem to pay the bigger star, regardless of gender, more money.
are people here seriously saying that a big name who draws people or at least gets more attention before a movie is released should get the same amount of money as a newcomer in their first film?
should a regular model get as much money as Angelina Jolie for doing fashion ads? it would be the same amount of work. but obviously its very different and an investment in Jolie is more proftiable so she gets more money. thats my point.
But that’s not how anything works.
I’m a lawyer. My clients are the biggest in my particular firm, and I consistently bring in the most new business. I would not be at all pleased if a lawyer bringing in 1/100th of what I do was paid what I was simply because they also worked 12 hour days. Showing up is the bare minimum.
If one actor is a box office draw, attracts attention to the film, allows the studio to save on promotion by getting free publicity, garners award nods and critical praise and gives a film a certain prestige, and another is a totally forgettable actor who can’t get a single person to a single showing based on their name, why should they be paid equally? Regardless of time put in, one person is contributing far more.
So, you are saying that Jane Fonda should have been paid more than Jeff Daniels and Sam Waterston and Emily Mortimer for Newsroom, even though her total screen time across the entire series amounted to about 15 minutes. Because multi-Oscar winner’s 15 minutes trumps constant screen time
Oscars are part of it but its also name recognition. And yeah Jane Fonda is more famous than any of them, by far. with series its a bit more complicated but the general point is the same. bigger name = more money. by the way im not saying she should get paid more, im just explaining how it works to people who dont get it.
as Kate says: you cant compare time investment because the starting position or the end result are UNEQUAL.
Tom Hanks attracts more attention than i do, therefore he should get more money in a business thats based on sales. really simple.
same as my fisrt post: Scully and Mulder are not vastly different, Wright and Spacey though are. so he rightfully gets more money.
or my example with the fashion Ads: i could do the exact same pictures Angeline Jolie does. yet im fully cool with her getting more money. because she attracts way more attention which is pretty helpful in advertising.
if you want to change the Hollywood system paying everybody equally based on their screentime it has nothing to do with feminism. it would also mean two people who sell insurances for eight hours would get paid the same amount of money. in reality the one who sells more (no matter if they talk someone into some obscure insurance) gets more money.
i mean the whole reason someone like Wright gets paid huge sums of money is based on my whole point. because of popularity of watching people act. thats why they get big sums and thats also why certain people make more money than others in that business. is that fair by itself? that they make more money than nurses? thats a whole different discussion but as you can see just invoking the mantra “equal pay for equal work” is not helpful when you are ignoring the reality and the facts. there is no equal work in Hollywood in front of the camera.
most often very good actors get paid way less than popular but terrible actors! thats also part of the business and certainly not fair.
@Kate
That is NOT the same thing. You are comparing apples to oranges. The business you bring in is tangible, easily tallied and results in direct income to your firm. A lawyer who just “shows up” isn’t DOING what you do. In order for their work to be equal, they would have to make an equal contribution to the firm. Box office appeal is not so simple. The fact that a star is more well known than a costar is not proof that he or she is the reason any one person went to see that movie. It’s harder to quantify. How would you like it if you made less than a man at your firm who had the exact same billable hours, paid hours and clients credits as you do simply because he was “the breadwinner.” I’ve always said that Hollywood is not the best example of equal pay because of the complicated situation, but to say that a woman is shameful and playing a dirty trick when she is obviously just as important to the show as the man is EXACTLY what has been holding women back for all these years. And your example is also very unfair to Wright, who is carrying at least half of the show, not just showing up.
@Maria
You’re just trying to focus on a minor point to deflect attention from your original sexist argument. Not engaging.
@maria your assumptions about how actors are paid is a bit off. Sure, Oscars and other awards do play a small part, but the award euphoria wears off rather quickly, and it goes more to how much money can I make casting this actor. They do all kinds of research to determine the marketability of actors. That is generally what determines their pay. Some of the most marketable stars are not award worthy.
Furthermore, some people want to work with certain actors or think a part is meant for this actor. Now this might be why Julia Roberts got so much, or someone was struck by her past popularity, because her box office power has certainly wained considerably over the last few years. Now television shows are always trying to lure academy award winning actors for various shows, because television always feels like the ugly stepchild. They think it will boost viewership and create some good reviews, but it doesn’t always work.
My personal opinion is the show would not pay Robin Wright the money if they didn’t have the research to confirm her part is worth it. Your assumption about her marketability is probably wrong, and it is equal to Kevin’s. As these are contract negotiated positions, you don’t get a raise as in a normal occupation just for being their another year, you generally have to ask for it. She’s just telling other women you should too, Good for her.
@Kate, I’m in agreement. In my line of work we see keynote speakers at conferences a lot. Bigger names do get to have higher fees. They all do a conference, and share their knowledge. But the body of work behind them does play a huge part in how much they are paid.
That being said, I would say I had followed Robin Wright more closely than I followed Kevin Spacey prior to watching HOC. Robin’s work a few seasons in is grounds for renegotiation, for sure. She has worked her role into a significant piece of the story line, and has many other skills to contribute now. That’s why hard work that recognized is a powerful motivator for some people – it raises your value within your work community.
@Maria I’m not saying awards success doesn’t count, but awards success is such a rigged system. You can’t get awards if the roles are not there and the roles tilt heavily toward white men. If you get the role, you can’t get the award if the role isn’t recognized and there many factors that keep females and PoC from being recognized. It is a system that is so overwhelmingly tilted towards white males that females and PoC will always be getting paid a pittance of what white men will be. So no until awards recognition becomes fair and uniform, it shouldn’t be one of the top factors in determining salary.
If they wanted to do things fairly then they would have increased her pay once her character became more of a central lead.
They don’t do pay based on equality, they do it based on where they can cut costs and save their money, usually with women. Even if Frank died of a gunshot in some episode and she became the single lead they wouldn’t have increased her pay unless SHE said something and fought for it.
They don’t want to pay women the same amount unless they’re forced 9/10 and I don’t consider what she did to be a dirty trick. But even if it was, so what, women have been getting screwed for years. If Robin’s threats made some poor male studio executive feel the pinch then so be it.
I am like Kaiser and don’t watch the show, even though I think I would probably enjoy it. Although, your conclusions about Wright’s value to the show seemed to be debunked by the more knowledgeable fans, my question is even if your premise is true so what! A part of the reason women are payed less is that men always seem to think they are worth whatever someone is willing to pay and women think a certain position is only worth a particular amount of money. Women undersell their value, then sadly get angry when other women don’t. Robin Wright is telling all women negotiate ask for more, you never know you just might get it. I don’t think it makes the corporation look bad because she told this story. It just makes them seem like every other business. As a person who hired a lot of people over the years, I can tell you I was always looking for the best talent at the lowest prices. Now if Robin Wright happened to oversell her worth, so what women in general should be happy because men do it all the time.
Maria, by your own logic, Charlize should get paid more since she is a way bigger star than helmsworth and has oscars.
you missed the point completly. my point is that its not equal pay, thats why i am using that example because yes its not comparable based on screentime.
if you reread you’ll see that im comparing it to the sitaution not saying if Charlize should get more or less but nice try.
In comparing film to television you’re comparing apples to oranges. Film is a one stop shop. Hollywood has to get butts in seats in a few weekends usually and that’s where mega stars and mega salaries come into play. Television is serialized storytelling. While people may have shown up for Spacey at first, the general consensus is that the viewership stayed mostly for Claire. And that’s what television wants to accomplish. They want people to watch the next week or click on the next episode. They need to get the viewers to stay to keep a show going and if most are staying for Robin, she has every right to ask for an equal salary. She thought she was worth it and the people running the show agreed.
they agreed is putting in nicely. they had no choice or be painted in a bad light. the bad publicity wasnt worth it.
she makes something thats about Hollywood business practices about her gender while all the facts speak for Spacey getting more money.
so she used the struggle of women for her own gain and unfairly got more money. thats using dirty tricks. she wasnt discriminated beacuse of her gender but spun it like that to get the upper hand in a negotiation. thats spitting in the face of women who actually struggle.
lets see if a man who is below her in the Hollywood hierahcy will get the same pay as she gets for the same amout of work. lets see if she sticks up for him.
@Maria trust me they didn’t care about being painted badly. Do you really think people are going to stop buying netflix because they didn’t pay Robin Wright a bit more money. These are the same people who jerk with the price of the subscription and got all kinds of bad press they didn’t care what it looked like.
Actually, Maria, no, the facts did not speak for Spacey getting more money. He had no track record as a television star. Additionally, he has never been a huge box office draw and neither of his Oscars was recent. Unless the only facts that matter are white and guy.
Maria, She was speaking about the wage gap and used her story as an anecdote. She wasn’t spitting in the face of any woman, she was trying to inspire women to fight for what they’re worth in any workplace. She took a hardline in her negotiation tactics and won. It wasn’t a ‘dirty trick’, it was business savvy and I say good for her.
Perfectly said @Neal
Claire was a popular character for the first two seasons, and then again towards the end of season 4. In between, when her character wasn’t in league with Frank, the character, along with the Doug centric episodes, was the reason people were giving up on the show.
Claire’s disastrous stint at the UN, her idiotic attempt at running for congress, the pointless affair with the writer…the compelling part of all that was how Frank would handle it. With Frank she’s an amazing character. Apart from him she’s still a very well written character, but it’s the relationship with Frank that makes her really interesting. The episodes in the latest season where she cuts herself off from him and attempts to do her own thing really highlighted that.
Wright has starred in every episode of the show and, like Spacey, is listed as an executive producer. She’s directed seven episodes. According to Nielsen ratings-she was a more popular character and had more name recognition.
It’s clear you don’t watch the show. The role is equal to Spacey’s and she has just as much name recognition as he does.
Sad to see people are immediately dismissing you as a MRA supporter over this. But not surprising at all given this forum’s jurisprudence.
I disagree with you. While Kevin may be the bigger actor pre-HoC, at this point him and Robin are co-leads. Robin’s always been considered the co-lead of the show as far as awards go, and if you compare screentime in these past seasons, it’s more or less the same. Both Robin and Kevin have won awards for this show, and if you read opinions you’ll probably see Claire as the most popular character. Robin’s contribution is the same as Kevin’s (if not more). I think she was more than justified to demand that payment.
Charlize Theron SHOULD get more money even for less work for the same reason big male stars get more money for less work simply because of their name.
This is not “dirty tricks” Its’ called negotiations. And negotiations in show business are tough and as sisal if it’s a woman paying hardball people called it threatening, playing dirty, winning. If it’s a man, he a badass and a though guy who knows his worth, SO UNFAIR.
As for Robin being a supporting this is WRONG. It was supposed to be like it was: she was in the shadows for the first two seasons, but slowing unveiling the power and ambition that equals if not overcomes Frank’s. By season 3 it is real that they are equals not only in importance but also in screen time. Not only: Wright’s performance is highly acclaimed by critics and fans by far more interesting, complex and compelling. Clearly the show is Spacey’s playground for his shenanigans and chew scenery acting, but Wright manages to outact him with a subtle acting that is a masterclass. The woman earns the equal salary bay far, if not even more. Just make a quick instagram or twitter search of Claire Underwood’s fashion and how many women consider her a fashion icon and role model (yeah, role model)
She may have started a little bit less than Spacey (anyway making more money than we could ever imagine) but by now, for any fan of the show is clear that she deserved the same money Kevin is making. And kudos for having the courage of speaking about it, because is a taboo issue for many in Hollywood and she has the power of put such an important issue in the spotlight.
I don’t watch the show either and I love everything about this story. The fact that she’s 50 years old and playing Spacy’s wife is refreshing. Because Hollywood would have chosen a 25-30 years old woman to play his wife.
And she’s got b@lls to ask for her right. Love it !
You should definitely watch the show if you have a strong stomach for dirty politics. Robin’s character is fascinating. She rocks that role. And I don’t know why everyone is arguing. She thought she deserved a raise, negotiated using her best arguments, her bosses agreed, and she got it. She’s doing what women who feel underpaid and undervalued should do like the boss bitch she is. Love her.
Thank you Senaber! It really is that simple.
There was originally a difference of about $50,000 between them.
Don’t mess with Princess Buttercup!
Word.
Don’t mess with Kelly Capwell haha
OMG and here I thought I was the ONLY Santa Barbara fan! Kelly Capwell! Remember her hair???
Or Jenny Gump!
She just did what Claire would have done. She “Underwooded” them.
Hell yes, she did!
I read in Salon that it was more of a gap than that-he was getting $9 million for season 3, and she was getting $5.5 million.
I can maybe MAYBE see in the first season when they are setting things up and her character was less in the forefront. But by season 3? Heck no-she should have been making the same or at least closer.
I’ve read the LA times that seem to have it right: for season 3 it was reported she was paid $5.5mill and Spacey $9mill. Before that we don’t know how much Wright made but Spacey reportedly got paid about $5.5 million, so probably Wright was making around $3.5/4 million. Then she negotiated for season 4 and got an executive producer credit so probably that’s when she threaten them and they started to get equal pay, so probably for season 4 they were getting around $10 million each of them. That’s a lot of money. Contracts get renegotiated every season and for sure for season 5 they got some more money. This show is HUGE in Europe Latin America, Brazil, China, Asia. Those markets alone give them the leverage of renegotiating with great results. And Claire Underwood for sure is one of the main reasons this show is so popular. She will be instrumental in the next seasons, the show will be more about her than him. The shift in the barycenter of power is in the general arc of the original story, even more in the US version where Claire has ambitions on her own (also the shows tries to capitalize the Hillary comparisons)
Kudos to her — i can’t imagine this show without Robin’s Clare Underwood.
Good for her. And while in the first season or two she was more of a supporting actor she is definitely now a co-lead: she gets as much (or more, sometimes) screentime as Kevin and her character is the best thing about that show!
Her role as Claire is essential and has equal if not more screen time than Frank. She absolutely should receive equal pay. I think her statement could have been worded a little differently though given that they caved.
I will never forget Claire’s response to the question: “Do you ever regret it, not having children?” with a perfectly timed: “Do you ever regret HAVING them?” capped off with a sip of tea. She MAKES the show. Get it Robin!
go claire! i find her inspirational as well, because she unapologetically goes after what she wants. not what she is supposed to want. and not just her. i love that the female characters on the show are not about likeability. they are complex and they allow themselves to have an agenda.
and thinking about the stats, e.g. even in tv group scenes there are generally only like 30 % women, house of cards is refreshing, bc it seems like it´s 50/50.
As someone who doesn’t want children, I cheered when she said that haha. Claire is such an awesome character and Robin does such a good job with it.
Yeah girl! It’s about time! We all need to do this!
She was sort of the woman behind a man in the first season. But she eventualy became a lead. She is right – the story works only if both caracters are there. The show would not work if her character was not there. It’s not a story about one man’s ambition it is rather about how power works including in a marriage which requires two people
Good for her.
The takeaway here is that she saw her moment and capitalized on it. She played it perfectly. The show was very popular, making gobs of money – and her character was a large part of its success. She asked for an increase based on quantifiable factors (character’s popularity), not simply because the pay gap was “unfair”. And she played hardball, “give me what I feel I’m worth, or people will know about it”. I doubt the threat was even needed. Kevin and Robin clearly adore working together, and Frank would not be Frank without Claire…and Claire would not be Claire if she weren’t played by Robin.
Exactly right!
I saw this in the news last night. They actually disclosed the figures but I forgot what they were. They both make around the ball park of 6 figures per episode only Spacey got paid $100K more. It wasn’t much of a difference. Certainly not Friends level pay so I’m sure the network can afford it.
Speaking of Friends, those gals were the first who got equal pay along with their male counterparts. $1M per based on the final season. That was the brainchild of Ross Gellar!
I just started watching this show. I’m on the eighth or ninth episode. I can see where her character will become more of a leading character. She’s more supporting for right now since I just started watching it. For now, for me, Kevin Spacey is blowing my mind with his performance. Utterly brilliant. Robin is truly amazing also and where I’m at in the episodes is just now is beginning to be involved in more of the plotlines also.
All of the actors and dialogue are fantastic.
I’m happy for her and her WRIGHTNAISSANCE (I stole that from another site) SHE not only is getting more money than many of her peers could ever imagine, but her film career is also on the raise: She has a badass role in the next Wonder Woman movie as General Antiope, probably a villain or antagonist character, juicy. She’ll be the female lead on the next Blade Runner sequel directed by Denis Villeneuve and co staring Ryan Gosling. Also probably she’ll end up being the villain. Those are great roles for a woman her age (even if she looks better than any 25 year old actress with that face and that banging body of hers). I wouldn’t be surprised if after House Of Cards she aims to prestige films and Oscar material. She surely has the acting chops to pull off any character. Mark my words: in the next 5 years this woman could be winning an Oscar.
The unflattering short hair ages her significantly.
Brilliant! So in a post discussing how women get underpaid over sexism and how courageously an actress exposed this important issue you came with a comment about how you think her hair looks bad? (which is not the case btw, she’s one of the few women who can actually pull off the short hair with that cheekbone structure)
I’m way behind, still on season 2, but from what I’ve seen her asking for equal pay to his is justified.
Season 3 is dissapointing. But season 4 is sort of the best. I love it how Robin is all “pay me more or I will go public”. They oblige and she still goes public. Such a Clare Underwood move
