melodrama ensues when Isabel learns
that Theresa’s daughter Grace (Abby
Quinn) is the child she gave up for adop-
tion, and Theresa’s husband (Billy Cru-
dup) is her former flame.
The gender-flipped movie is adapted
from a 2006 Danish drama of the same
name, which was Oscar-nominated for
best foreign-language film and centered
on two men who learn they share the
same daughter and ex. But Williams be-
lieves that the female perspective raises
the emotional stakes.
“I’m playing somebody who’s lived
for 20 years with this absence and this
mystery,” Williams says. “I did a lot of
researchbecause there’s a lot of materi-
al written by women who have been put
in this situation, and they talk about
their enduring connection and sadness
(over their child).”
As a mom, Williams can sometimes
relate to Isabel’s feelings of ineptitude
as a parent to Grace, whom she recon-
nects with as an adult.
“Motherhood has sort of reinvented
me completely, so the lens that I see the
whole world through is as a mother,”
Williams said.
Maternal spirit was part of what at-
tracted her to playing Verdon, who had a
“natural desire to give but also get what
rightfully belongs to her,” Williams says.
“(Being) generous can come naturally to
a lot of women, but how do you hold that
and not be taken advantage of ?”
Williams can understand feeling un-
dervalued. In January 2018, USA TODAYbroke the newsthat Williams was paid
an $80 per diem totaling less than
$1,000 to reshoot scenes in Ridley
Scott’s “All the Money in the World” af-
ter a cascade of sexual misconduct alle-
gations against Kevin Spacey, who was
replaced in the film by Christopher
Plummer. Her co-star, Mark Wahlberg,
earned $1.5 million for the same work.
The shocking pay discrepancy sur-
faced a few months earlier, but was
largely ignored until Williams’ friend,
Jessica Chastain, resurfaced the news
at the onset of the Time’s Up movement.
“What was truly interesting was that
when it first came out, it hit the news
stream and nobody picked it up. Nobody
cared,” Williams says. “And that felt like
no surprise to me. That just validated
everything that I’d experienced in my
life up until that point.
“And then the world changed a little
bit; there was a shift in our industry,”
Williams says. Chastain regenerated in-
terest in the story, which “was less
about me than it is about how accom-
plished women are undervalued. ... Pro-
fessionally, it’s become maybe the most
important thing that’s ever happened to
me, because now I can use it as an ex-ample for women in other industries of
what income disparity looks like.
“It’s hard for people to understand
when you’re talking about a different
pay scale, $10 versus $13 an hour. The
message doesn’t hit home as much as
$1,000 versus $1.5 million. But if I face
that kind of an issue as a privileged
woman in a privileged industry, it’s easy
to imagine what it’s like for women in
other industries. So it’s actually be-
come, in some ways, the greatest gift of
my life to speak out on this subject.”
Moore applauds Williams’ fortitude:
“It’s not easy to be the center of a storm
and the big example, but she handled it
really intelligently and gracefully.”
Williams has continued to be vocal
about gender equality, pushing for equal
pay in a speech to Congress in April. She
plans to remain politically active, too.
She’s one of several stars who took
women’s rights activists to the Golden
Globes in 2018, “and (we) have stayed in
touch with those women and become
their friends and advocates and allies,”
Williams says. “So if I see there’s some-
thing that I can do, I’ll do it. But it’s also
up to me to self-generate those things,
too. I see them going hand in hand.”Williams

Broadway helped prepare her to play
