Jessica Chastain is speaking out about the importance of equal pay, and why she made sure the leading actresses in her new film, 'The 355,' were all paid the same.
-- were all compensated both equally and fairly, something she's done on previous projects.
As part of Chastain's pay initiative, all the film's leading actresses are all owners of the project, and all worked together to make the movie without the traditional studio system. Chastain has made it her mission to not only be an active participant in fair projects, but also create an environment in which an actress doesn't have to choose between being a career woman and a mom.
"And I think for the longest time it's been like, you're either a career woman or you're home. It's like, there's no such thing," she added. "Men have been able to do both for years. Let's just make it possible for everyone.
