Robin Wright Pressed for Pay Equal on <i>House of Cards</i>. And Won

Fictional first lady Claire Underwood is one tough negotiator — and so is the woman who plays her. House of Cards actress Robin Wright revealed Tuesday that she recently demanded to be paid the same as costar Kevin Spacey for her work on the popular Netflix series, and ultimately prevailed.

According to a Huffington Post report, Wright was participating in a Rockefeller Foundation event when she addressed the issue of unequal pay for men and women.
