The 22-year-old in this scene made $347,000 for the entire film. DiCaprio made multiples of that.
Her audition was supposed to end with a kiss. She slapped DiCaprio across the face instead. The room went silent. She thought she'd be arrested. Scorsese called it a "thunderclap" and offered her the role on the spot.
She almost quit acting after this movie. The fame disoriented her so badly that she told interviewers she reconsidered the entire profession. Her mother talked her out of leaving.
Instead of leaving, she started a production company. LuckyChap Entertainment launched in 2014, one year after Wolf of Wall Street. She co-produced I, Tonya, which earned her first Oscar nomination. Then Promising Young Woman. Then Saltburn.
Then she walked into Warner Bros., told them Barbie would make a billion dollars, and they laughed. She hired Greta Gerwig, took the lead role, held backend producer points, and the film made $1.44 billion. Her personal take was $50 million. Highest-paid actress in Hollywood that year.
Three Oscar nominations. A production company with more critical hits than most studios. A net worth that went from a $347K Scorsese paycheck to $75 million in 12 years.
The girl in this scene figured out something most actors never do: showing up on screen is a depreciating asset. Owning the thing that puts you on screen is the only durable position. She built the escape hatch before she needed one.
What the actual fuck is wrong with yall? The idea of keeping brain dead women alive just to use their bodies as incubators is beyond DYSTOPIAN. Women are NOT breeding machines, NOT spare wombs, NOT some biological resource you can harvest once their brain stops working. The fact that anyone in medicine can even say this out loud shows how deeply misogynistic this thinking is. It's dehumanizing, grotesque, and straight out of The Handmaid's Tale. Can all of you just leave us the fuck alone already? Ew.
I think he specifically appointed women to these positions so that he could fire them. That was literally always the plan. They were always expendable.
I have no sympathy for these women. Iโve read Andrea Dwokinโs โRight-wing Womenโ โ these women really thought cozying up to power & patriarchy would protect them from sexism but it never will.
the only reason ppl hate on it is because men canโt handle having a story not centered on their experiences ๐ women have to watch 20 billion nerd coming of age stories but men canโt handle one cringe 13 year old girl movieโฆ. Okay
Jewish passengers flying from New York to Tel Aviv cover the airplane screens.
Because electricity is forbidden on Shabbat.
Yet torching Palestinians alive and kidnapping their children is somehow perfectly allowed.
The Epstein files....
Epstein while murdering children said "They're like shrimp... you throw away the head, keep the body."
The worst Epstein file i have ever read.
I dont think you guys understand like potentially the sex abuse biggest human rights violation in human history including things like cannibalism of babies is going to be completely lost to history bc everyone would rather infight instead of focus on this shit
The little child you see in this photo is no longer alive, because they ate him in a cannibalistic ritual. The sole reason for these current wars is to divert attention and make us forget their filth. Because on the day the war began, they deleted 66,000 emails and many photos that would have been used against them in the Epstein case. That's why US Congressman Ted Lieu said: "To distract us from Donald Trump's crimes of raping young children, Trump has launched an open war." An email sent to Epstein states that Trump spent hours at Epstein's house with a victim. The house was equipped with audio recording and camera devices, recording every moment. Therefore, Trump is forced to do everything Netanyahu says, because they have a huge archive to blackmail him with. It is also clear that this situation is not limited to Trump alone.
MORE than three million pages from the Epstein files are now public.
Cannibalism. Rape. Murder. Pedophilia.
Not a single arrest. Not a single investigation.
