Note to Jennifer Lawrence.

 In her 20s, Jennifer Lawrence won the Best Actress Oscar for her work in SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK (2012). It was the third of her four Oscar nominations. She is now 32 and one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. She made $40 million for the 2014 and 2015 releases in THE HUNGER GAMES franchise, according to entertainment news reports.

This week, according to The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, she gave quite a candid and muscular cover story interview to Vogue magazine. She talked about her miscarriages, the Roe v Wade meltdown, the important role that politics play in her life -- and the inequality of being paid less than her male co-stars. Reportedly, she made $5 million less than Leonardo DiCaprio on DON'T LOOK UP. Said Lawrence: "It doesn't matter how much I do, I'm still not going to get paid as much as guys, because of my vagina?"

I totally, thoroughly understand her point. However, since she is a feminist and passionate about equality, I want to remind her that she is a talented White actress who makes millions and received other good Hollywood script opportunities after her Oscar nomination for WINTER'S BONE (2010), her first Oscar nomination.

Cicely Tyson got $6000 for her extraordinary performance in SOUNDER (1972) and it brought her a Best Actress Oscar nomination.

After her one -- and only -- Oscar nomination, Tyson had to turn to TV for further steady employment and significant roles because Hollywood had no good follow-up opportunities for her. Other Black actresses who followed Cicely Tyson in getting just one Oscar nomination and then were forced to turn to TV for steady work afterwards include Diahann Carroll, Angela Bassett, Alfre Woodard, Marianne Jean-Baptiste (of 1996's SECRETS & LIES), Taraji P. Henson and Gabourey Sidibe. Even Viola Davis turned to TV and did ABC's HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER because Hollywood offered no big screen opportunities to her after her second Oscar nomination.

I want to include Rita Moreno in my women of color list because she had no Hollywood script offers for seven years after she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for WEST SIDE STORY. She, too, turned to television.

This is a history of inequality that White entertainment journalists never covered nor pointed out.

Jennifer, you're right. It's not fair. But you're still luckier than other gifted performers of your gender but of a different race.
