14 Actors Who Were Way, Way, Way Underpaid For Their Roles — Like, Some Of This Is Ridiculous

On Chelsea Handler's Netflix talk show, Chelsea, the actor revealed that she was only paid $3,000 for her work in Boys Don't Cry — a performance that won her an Oscar for Best Actress. "I made $3,000. In order to have health insurance, you have to make $5,000," she shared. "So I didn't even know that I didn't have health insurance until I went and tried to get a prescription filled. They said, 'That's $160.' I went, 'Um, did you try my insurance?' They said, 'Mmm-hmm.' I had an Academy Award, no health insurance."
