#ChristinaApplegate says her #Anchorman pay was “a little offensive” when “they came in with the initial offer,” so #WillFarrell and Adam McKay gave her money from their own salaries.

“I said I can’t. I know my worth, and I can’t do that. They wanted me bad enough, and they said, ‘Well, we’re gonna chip in.’, Thank god they did because it was one of the best experiences of my entire life. It was such a lesson. I had never done improv before. Learning from that group of dudes… that is the masterclass that people pay for. Steve Carell like taught it. Adam McKay developed an entire new way of doing it with his group. To get in there and have that happen was absolutely magic and it’s been invaluable to me and my career.” (via “The View”)
