tribute piece for the late actor, the 38-year-old actress remembers how she came to work with the"He was a fan of my work, which was thrilling, because it was reciprocated from me to him, tenfold. So he approached me to do it, he offered me this film, and it was at a time when I really didn’t want to work anymore. I’d been working non-stop and I was exhausted, but then I wanted to work with him," she recalls of first speaking with Boseman about the film.
Miller says when the studio wouldn't give her the salary she asked for to work on the big-budget movie, she was reluctant to take on the role offered because it was"an inconvenient time" with her daughter, Marlowe, starting school. That's when Boseman stepped up. "I said, 'I’ll do it if I’m compensated in the right way.’ And Chadwick ended up donating some of his salary to get me to the number that I had asked for,” she says. “He said that that was what I deserved to be paid."
Miller calls the gesture the"most astounding thing" she's ever encountered."That kind of thing just doesn’t happen. He said, ‘You’re getting paid what you deserve, and what you’re worth.’ It’s just unfathomable to imagine another man in that town behaving that graciously or respectfully," the actress says in praise of her late co-star.
Nice guy...he knows how to share....
Hooray! That means a black man is paid more than a white woman in Hollywood.
There's an old cliche 'too good for this world' that's beginning to take on new meaning for me with respect to Mr. Boseman. RIP
