Celebrated
actress
Viola
Davis,
who
won
an
Emmy
Award
last
year
and
broke
the
colour
barrier
existing
in
Hollywood,
reveals
that
there
is
a
huge
difference
of
pay
between
dark-skinned
women
and
that
of
the
Caucasian
women.
How
to
Get
Away
with
Murder
actress
Davis,
who
won
the
Emmy
as
the
first
African-American
in
a
Drama
Series,
in
the
category
of
Outstanding
Lead
Actress,
feels
the
problem
could
be
solved
only
by
taking
the
matter
to
public
and
letting
everyone
know.
"Even
when
Caucasian
women
talk
about
pay
and
how
we
definitely
are
not
paid
the
way
men
are
paid,
it's
just
completely,
absolutely
the
truth,
and
we
should
(talk
about
that)." She
said.
"You
have
people
like
Robin
Wright,
Jennifer
Lawrence,
and
Meryl
Streep,
and
just
a
number
of
women
out
there
who
are
equally
as
talented
and
equally
as
important
in
the
narrative,
and
what
they're
paid,
should
reflect
that," Davis
added.
She
also
said
that
"I
would
add
to
that,
that
women
of
colour
don't
even
get
paid
even
half
of
what
Caucasian
women
are
paid.
There
needs
to
be
an
awareness
that
we're
just
there,
that
our
presence
is
there,
that
we
put
in
the
work."
