Why the gender gap took center stage in Michelle Williams's Emmy speech:
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 22: Michelle Williams attends the Walt Disney Television Emmy Party on September 22, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.
As Williams well knows from personal experience, there is a substantial pay gap in Hollywood, and, in 2018,– Scarlett Johansson — appeared on the list of the top 10 highest earning actors. In fact, the top 10 women actors earned – together – about a quarter of what the top 10 male actors earned. And, as Williams’s acceptance speech points out, that gap goes well beyond Hollywood.
