Actress Taraji P. Henson shared her frustrations about the persistent gender and racial pay gap in the entertainment industry while promoting her upcoming film, The Color Purple.

It s really a slap in the face to have spent 22 years in the Coast Guard serving my nation and doing what I, certainly what I like to do, but then to be told, Well sorry, you just aren t going to get paid, said Mike Wade, of Davenport, Washington.
