Kimiko Glenn is opening up about her Orange Is the New Black pay amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike — and it’s starting to sound like copper is the new green. (In other words, gurl got PENNIES instead of dollars!)
As you’ve probably heard, the Screen Actors Guild AND the Writers Guild of America have gone on strike, shutting down Hollywood as the talent both in front of and behind the camera advocate for fair pay and better working conditions. The biggest issue is the changing landscape in the wake of streaming and digital. Before you assume all actors are too well-paid to complain, just listen to what the OITNB star actually got paid despite dedicating YEARS of her life to the acclaimed streaming hit.

Over the weekend, the 34-year-old shared a SHOCKING look at the amount of money she’s received in residual checks. The way TV used to work, you’d get paid a certain amount for your work on the show, but the real money was if the show was a HIT. Because every time it aired afterward, you got paid a small amount again. So guest appearances on Friends and Seinfeld were a much bigger payday than, say, Veronica’s Closet, even at SAG minimums.
But residuals in the age of streaming don’t work the same. After all, shows don’t “air” on streaming services, they’re just there all the time, available to watch. So now, in theory, they’re based on how much a given production is streamed… and boy, you’re not prepared. When you think of OITNB, some phrases that come to mind probably include bingeable and highly popular, right? Heck, it was one of Netflix‘s first really brand-defining originals. But according to Kimiko, she’s only received a total of

Brent Lang Executive Editor Juliet Stevenson seems almost ashamed. There was a moment a few weeks ago when the boundaries between Ruth Wolff, the gifted but abrasive physician whose downfall drives the action of “The Doctor,” and Stevenson became too porous. “I crossed this line and didn’t know who I was,” Stevenson says on a recent afternoon at the Park Avenue Armory, where she has been performing in the play since June.

Brent Lang Executive Editor Most people know that social media has become a cesspool of disinformation, a digital hydra that feeds off toxicity and conspiracy theories. But somehow YouTube, the second-most-popular site in the world, has avoided the scrutiny that’s come Twitter and Facebook’s way. “The YouTube Effect,” a new documentary from Alex Winter, could change that. It takes a tough look at the role that the Google-owned service played in everything from the Jan. 6 riot to the 2019 New Zealand mosque shooting by promoting election denialism and white supremacy. “People don’t know that YouTube and Google are the biggest purveyors of disinformation,” Winter says. “One reason is people don’t understand what YouTube is. Is it just a place to watch cat videos, or is it something else? And the second reason you hear about it less is because Google is so deep-pocketed that it has some of the strongest lobbyists in the world working for them. That’s made them less likely to be legislated against.”
