TV writers in Hollywood are trying end gender pay disparity, and they're doing it with a spreadsheet.
This week writers began circulating an anonymous spreadsheet. That linked to a survey, where they could list their salary, gender, job title and if they're a person of color.
It's received hundreds of entries so far, and according the entires, the differences in pay between men and women are significant. We should note the accuracy and authenticity of the data hasn't been verified.
But still, gender pay gaps across Hollywood aren't exactly a new issue. Take last year, for example.
The highest paid actress from June 2016 to June 2017 was Emma Stone. She earned $42 million less than the highest paid actor, Mark Wahlberg.
Whalberg was also allegedly paid $1.5 million to do re-shoots on "All The Money In The World" when co-star Michelle Williams was said to have been paid less than $1,000.
A spreadsheet for actors' salaries is also being circulated but, as of Thursday evening, hasn't yet taken off to the same degree.
