THE Julia Roberts broke the ‘glass ceiling’ for top female movie stars when she demanded $20 million for her role in the 2000 film ‘Erin Brockovich.’ like Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks, who dominated the box office in the 90s with Roberts.
The American actress participated on Saturday in a discussion as part of the events History Talks organized by A+E Networks and the History Channel in Washington.
Panel moderator Gayle King asked Julia Roberts about the negotiating tactics she uses to win equal pay.
