Lead role should demand lead pay, simple.

Yeah.... good point, she should have turned it down and never taken this once in a lifetime opportunity. Actors are paid for the fans they bring with them. She'll get the money for her next gig, and unless it flops, the one after that, etc.
-
Totally agree. So many people are responding to this issue completely emotionally, and don’t seem to understand the realities of business.

I think the actor who played Doctor Who negotiated his contract better...
-
even if that’s the case, we need to address the systemic problem of women not geeminng confident enough in their abilities to negotiate a higher salary. this doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
-
We are creating the vacuum. We got teach ourselves to ask for more and support each other's to have the confidence to do that.

Not mad at all. He was the lead character for four years on a show that has a rabid following not only in Britain but also in America. A show that has been on for over 50 years total. I've never even heard of her.

No disrespect to Matt Smith but Claire Foy WAS the show, and was amazing. She deserved better!

I’m not mad. Has no bearing on my little, very average life. But it’s shitty, and I’m glad the news is out there.

I get it the first season he had the following...after the second she WAS the QUEEN... and it should have been balanced (and I say this as an avid Whovian)

Foy should have hired a better agent to get the better pay. You don't get what you don't ask for

Just means that her agent sucks at her/zer/his job.

She either had a bad agent or didn't negotiate well. If we want
#betterpay we got to negotiate better!!! If it's not your desired rate then walk away. It's the only way we will get more. Be about the boyfriend AKA Benji.#equalpay starts with US

She didn't have as much leverage as him, fame-wise. Actors have lost parts due to demanding too much money. See Crispin Glover in Back to the Future Part II.

If Claire Foy made less than her co-star on her own show, then I submit she needs to FIRE HER AGENT.
-
Unless she looked at the contract and approved of it. I don't hear Claire make a big stink about it. If anything, she, is now in a better position to negotiate higher fees.

Truth.

And the fact she was paid less is absolutely correct.
