But the producers were willing to pay for a big female star like Elizabeth Taylor (who didn’t want to do episodic television) or Sophia Loren (who’s salary demands were too high) but couldn’t afford it over a full season. So it wasn’t the man gets paid more than the woman scenario.
They settled for Joan Collins as she was the poor man’s Elisabeth Taylor and came with a salary that matched.
Joan was given a raise every year as her popularity grew. She was just resentful that she was paid less than John and Linda.
Why would she be happy about that? If you equate that to other jobs, it would seem unfair wouldn't it?
Would JF be right to have an issue if Joan and Linda got more than him? I would say yes.
I'm not clear why it's a problem that she has taken issue with not getting equal pay.
