Tarantino says he fired Mélanie Laurent from Inglourious Basterds after a terrible table read, then rehired her after she asked for another chance. He also says Isabelle Huppert lost the role for missing the read amid contract delays.
Taraji P. Henson broke down in tears in a podcast as she recalls how Hollywood underpaid her for her supporting role in the Curious Case of Benjamin Button which grossed approximately $335 million worldwide.
She said in tears “I was only paid $150,000 for my role in that biopic and I’m not gonna forgive Hollywood and Braddock Pitt for that”
