"Lilly": Patricia Clarkson on playing equal pay activist Lilly Ledbetter
If you don't know the name Lilly Ledbetter, how's this for an introduction? "Lilly Ledbetter did not set out to be a trailblazer or a household name," said President Obama in 2009. "She was a good hard worker who did her job, and she did it well for nearly two decades before discovering that for years she was paid less than her male colleagues for doing the very same work." Forty percent less, by most accounts. Now, a new film, "Lilly," starring Patricia Clarkson, chronicles Ledbetter's David-and-Goliath-type fight for equal pay against her employer, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, in Alabama. Asked what she knew about Ledbetter before reading the script, Clarkson replied, "Well, that she was one of the most remarkable human beings ever put on this Earth, a true, true American hero. A grave injustice had been committed against her. But she was also dealing with misogyny, ageism. But yet, she was this amazing manager. She rose." A female manager at a tire factory in the 1970s was almost unheard of. But Ledbetter needed the money to help her husband support their two kids. In 1998, she found a list of names and salaries of her male counterparts, all of whom made far more than she did. As the movie depicts, Ledbetter found an anonymous note, left for her in her locker, that detailed the pay discrepancies. "And she was devastated," said her daughter, Vickie Ledbetter Saxon. "She told me she didn't know how she was going to get through the shift. She was humiliated." Ledbetter filed suit, and was awarded $3.8 million in back pay and damages. But a court of appeals overturned the verdict. She never saw a dime. Patricia Clarkson as Lilly Ledbetter in the film "Lilly." Blue Harbor Entertainment Her case made it all the way to the Supreme Court, where a 5-4 ruling in favor of Goodyear stated that she had waited too long to file a discrimination claim (the statute of limitations was just 180 days). "She was extremely devastated by that," said Saxon. "And I thought it was over, I really did." It wasn't. By then, Ledbetter was nearly 70, and became a symbol of unequal treatment in the workplace. She made it her life's mission to correct pay disparity, and she maintained her activism well into her 80s. In a speech to the Democratic National Convention in 2008, Ledbetter said, "Equal pay for equal work is a fundamental American principle." On January 29, 2009, President Obama signed his first piece of legislation: the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which effectively ended the statute of limitations on fair-pay claims. President Barack Obama introduces Lilly Ledbetter, at the signing of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2009. CBS News Clarkson said, "People care about her journey. It's like: I get you. I know who the hell you are. I know what you went through. I've been through it, too. And whether you're a man or a woman or you're Black or White or young or old, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, whether you were gay or straight, everybody struggles in this way." Clarkson has played a string of memorable characters, from a heroin addict in "High Art," to the mom in "Easy A." She says Hollywood is no exception. Asked if she believes she was paid equally throughout her career, Clarkson replied, "Oh, no. Oh, no. No. When I was first working, I was paid scale, which is just the barest of minimum. Young men in the movie with me who had the same amount of words or scenes that I had were making a salary. But I was being paid scale. I didn't know that I was making way less to the dollar. But not anymore, baby!" Clarkson says to become Lilly, she spent time in a New York City park: "Every time I went somewhere, or I just would walk around the street, I was like, 'That's Lilly, that's Lilly, that's Lilly.' I mean, everybody, she's everywhere." Jackie Clarkson and Patricia Clarkson. Family Photo She especially found Lilly in her own mother, Jackie Clarkson, a New Orleans City Councilwoman and Louisiana state representative. "What I brought forth was the best of me, my mother, to play Lilly, because I had this shining example," she said. "It's very hard for me to watch 'Lilly.' My mother is there. My mother is a very kindred spirit with Lilly." When she got the part, her mom was her first call. "You know, 'cause I've played a lot of complicated women, and she was like, 'Oh, Patty. Oh, Patty. This is so glorious. This is wonderful. You're finally gonna be in a movie everybody can see!'" Clarkson says playing Ledbetter is the privilege of her life. Asked what she learned about herself by playing Lilly, Clarkson said, "I need to always strive to care more, to be better, to try to be a better human being, to be a better citizen." I said, "I think an experience that one has watching this film and seeing her story is to think, 'Would I rise to the occasion over and over? If I were called upon, would I be that brave?'" "I don't know that I would," said Clarkson. "If I had lost the settlement, I would have been like, 'I'm done.'" Both Jackie Clarkson and Ledbetter died last year. Lilly Ledbetter screened the film just days before her death, before Clarkson could meet her. Asked what she would say to Ledbetter if she could, Clarkson replied, "You lived an exceptional life with very little. And that people can be exceptional with very little. My mother was, too. They're gonna be dancing. Happy Mother's Day, Lilly, Mom!"

Southern ‘House of Cards' actress knew early on she wasn't ‘the marrying kind'
Patricia Clarkson has survived Hollywood. During an interview with Fox News Digital, Clarkson, 65, talked about her own real-life experiences that her latest movie "Lilly" brought to the surface for her. The movie is "based on the remarkable true story of a working-class hero, Lilly Ledbetter, a hard-working Alabama tire factory supervisor whose singular goal is to lift her family into the middle class," the movie's website states. "I'm not a 25-year-old woman. I've lived through a lot in my life. I've survived Hollywood, okay. I'm a New Orleanian who now lives in New York," Clarkson said. "For me, Lilly's journey was a deeply emotional journey, a journey filled with strife and struggle and ultimately triumph, but how I've toiled, how I have labored to have a career and still have a career at 65, is a loss of love. Loss of leaving my family behind in New Orleans." "I'm not a 25-year-old woman. I've lived through a lot in my life. I've survived Hollywood, okay." The movie sparked memories of Clarkson's "struggles" in her life, but she's proud to still "be here" and making a mark in the entertainment industry. Taking on the role of Lilly was a personal choice for Clarkson. She told Fox News Digital that Lilly Ledbetter was a personal hero of her mother who passed away. WATCH: Patricia Clarkson drew from her real life experiences when preparing for role in 'Lilly' "Sadly, my mother passed and was not able to see this film, which is heartbreaking to me because my mother was a powerhouse. She ran this city [New Orleans] and Lily Ledbetter was one of her heroes. Of course, she raised five daughters. My mother raised five daughters, and we're all working women and my sisters are very accomplished people. "I'm just a lowly actress. They all have real careers and real lives," Clarkson said with a laugh. Over several decades in Hollywood, the "House of Cards" actress recognizes that women are treated much differently in the industry than when she first started in the late '80s. WATCH: Patricia Clarkson explained the special connection her new role shares with her mother "Oh, it's exponentially grown. When I first started out, my very first movie I did was 'The Untouchables.' Even my make-up artist was a man. I was the only woman for miles. Miles. And I was paid scale. "The industry, it's grown by leaps and bounds and women finally really now, we don't have a full seat at the table, but we're very, very, close. I think people are starting to realize that women, we can make you money. We can win you awards. We can make your life better if you employ us, and you pay us," Clarkson said. Clarkson has previously described herself as a "single, straight, Southern woman" who's never married or had children. During her interview with Fox News Digital, she explained that her choice to stay single started at a young age. WATCH: 'Lilly' star Patricia Clarkson knew she 'wasn't the marrying kind' from a young age "It's interesting, and you know, it's quite shocking, but not really. I was a fiercely independent child. I knew very early on I wasn't the marrying kind. I love to work, I'm a workhorse. "I've had remarkable men in my life. Not all of them, but quite a few that have just made me a better person, and I'm very thankful to some of the remarkable men I've dated in my life," Clarkson said. "A lot of them needed a wife and I knew I wasn't that." Clarkson told Fox News Digital that she has 10 nieces and nephews who she "worships" and they have gone on to have their own children. "One of my greatest joys in my whole life is being their aunt. And now they all have these gorgeous children that you can eat on a spoon. And that's enough for me. I do love other people's children. But I think I'm best single," Clarkson said. Clarkson said there was one man that made her consider marriage, but looking at where he is now, she's confident that the relationship wouldn't work out. She didn't name the man she was referring to. "Lilly" debuts in theaters on May 9.

Patricia Clarkson: ‘When women make equal pay, everybody wins'
Patricia Clarkson, who portrays late equal pay activist Lilly Ledbetter in a biopic released this week, has a wish. The Oscar-nominated actor hopes her fellow American women collectively withhold sex from their partners – especially men in power – if the second Trump administration's assault on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives ever takes aim at the gains won by the subject of her new film. 'Do not go after this – do not because there will be a Lysistrata moment,' she told the Guardian in an interview recently, alluding to the ancient Greek comedy about women resolving to abstain from sex to compel the men in their nation to stop warring and sign a peace treaty. 'We will put chastity belts back on.' Clarkson is only the latest in a long lineage to float the idea of a sex strike as a protest tactic. Nonetheless, what sets the Easy A and Sharp Objects star's admonition and potential call to action apart is that it comes as her starring turn in Lilly coincides with the first months of a second Donald Trump presidency marked in large part by the rollback of policies meant to widen the professional opportunities of historically underrepresented groups. Directed by Rachel Feldman, Lilly dramatizes the struggles endured by a working-class mother from Alabama who began working at the tire manufacturer Goodyear in 1979 before becoming its only female supervisor and eventually realizing she was paid substantially less than her male colleagues, including much less experienced ones. She sued and at one point had been awarded nearly $4m in damages and backpay. But, in 2007, the US supreme court ruled that she had waited too long to sue, preventing her from ever collecting her award. Ultimately, with lobbying from Ledbetter and supporters that she picked up while pursuing her lawsuit, Congress enacted legislation early in Barack Obama's presidency that afforded workers greater latitude to sue their employers over unequal and discriminatory pay. Clarkson said she did not get to meet Ledbetter before her death at age 86 in October. So Clarkson said she drew inspiration for her portrayal of the resolute Ledbetter in large part from her mother, Jacquelyn 'Jackie' Brechtel Clarkson, who served several terms as a Democratic member of New Orleans's city council and Louisiana's state legislature during a political career regarded as legendary in their home town. She marveled at how her mother, who died at age 88 about four months before Ledbetter, never compromised raising five daughters – 'all working women' – while facing down countless intense political battles. 'They had similar DNA in ways that came to me as I was doing these scenes,' Clarkson said. To say the least, the political climate depicted in Lilly through Clarkson's acting as well as through archival footage of prominent liberal American political figures who philosophically aligned themselves with her has changed seismically. In between Trump presidencies, the US supreme court eliminated the federal abortion rights established by Roe v Wade, a staggering blow to women's reproductive rights. Trump has then spent his second presidency pushing his government to withhold funds from institutions which adhere to DEI practices that took hold nationally after the Minneapolis police's murder of George Floyd in 2020. Less than two weeks before Lilly's theatrical release, Trump's defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, announced his intent to eliminate a program meant to promote women's contributions and safety in global conflict zones. The announcement raised eyebrows given that it was implemented during Trump's first presidency and had drawn a ringing endorsement from his daughter, Ivanka. Clarkson made it a point to deliver an impassioned defense of DEI measures in general, urging Americans to stay informed about the topic despite the other fights being stoked by Trump's second presidency. 'When we work with people of every race, creed, color, sexual preference – that's the best part of this world we live in,' Clarkson said. 'I refuse to live in the world' demonizing that concept. Speaking to the Guardian after accepting the New Orleans Film Society's Celluloid Hero Award and hosting a local screening of Lilly in early April, Clarkson said she honestly could not envision the Trump administration turning its crosshairs on the equal pay progress that has become synonymous with Ledbetter. 'Equal pay is not – it's not a political issue,' Clarkson said. 'It's a human rights issue. Sign up to Film Weekly Take a front seat at the cinema with our weekly email filled with all the latest news and all the movie action that matters after newsletter promotion 'Wherever you live across this great country, whether you are Black or white or brown or young or old or whatever you are, Republican or Democrat – when women make equal pay, everybody wins.' Yet the New York City resident also fears nothing is truly off the table during a second Trump presidency that has already shattered political norms many could not imagine being vulnerable. And if the administration dares to test something as drastic as re-implementing a system where pay is based on gender, she said she hoped the public mounts commensurate resistance – from Ivanka herself trying to talk some sense into her father to a women's sex strike if necessary. 'How is it cool for anyone to want their spouse, the love of their life, to be paid less, and you're still going to ask for sex?' said Clarkson, who once attained digital virality with an appearance in the music video to the Lonely Island song Mother Lover, an irreverent ballad of sorts to desirable moms. 'I say, 'Honey, there must be another bedroom I'm sleeping in.'' Clarkson was quick to point out that she has faith in the willingness of men to step up in the event that Ledbetter's achievements are ever directly threatened. By way of evidence, Clarkson said she was glad Lilly spent a decent amount of its 93-minute run time exploring how Ledbetter's husband of 52 years, Charles, steadily supported her professional goals and activism despite the backlash they generated for the couple and their two children. The decorated US army veteran, played by John Benjamin Hickey, never sought to persuade her to settle for less than she believed that she deserved in hopes of easing some of the pressure. He instead remained in her corner until his death at 73 in 2008, a little more than a month before the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act for which his beloved battled so hard became the first piece of legislation Obama signed as president. Clarkson said Charles Ledbetter's unquestioning devotion to Lilly reminded her of the love the actor's mother shared with her father, Arthur Alexander 'Buzz' Clarkson Jr, a former medical school administrator to whom Jackie was married for more than 70 years. 'My father wanted my mother to run this city,' Clarkson said while seated in the living room of an 18th-floor suite in downtown New Orleans's Windsor Court hotel. 'My father wanted my mother to make this city better. 'Lilly's husband wanted her to succeed. Charles … got caught up in her journey in realizing what she was sacrificing and the injustice of not being paid' adequately for the time she dedicated to making ends meet for her family. Clarkson has previously said that she chose to be unmarried and not have children. But she said she admired how her father and Charles Ledbetter were 'kick-ass husbands that loved every single moment of their [wives'] lives'. And it positioned the women whom each of those men loved to thrive in the face of political adversity, providing an example Clarkson said she hopes more American spouses – especially husbands – emulate. As Clarkson put it: 'These remarkable men stood by these women. And they wanted them.' Lilly is out in US cinemas now with a UK date to be announced

Oscar nominated actress admits she saw Justin Timberlake naked and worried she upset wife Jessica Biel
Oscar nominee Patricia Clarkson has revealed she saw Justin Timberlake naked - and feared she had upset his wife Jessica Biel. The Pieces of April star, 65, who starred alongside Timberlake, 44, in 2011's Friends With Benefits, previously branded the singer 'gifted' in a cheeky remark on Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen - and revisited the risque tale on Thursday's show. She said: 'I was doing Friends With Benefits and I had to walk in on him and Mila Kunis. I walked in and he was nude. I saw everything and he is really gifted. Cohen quipped that Timberlake 'should have sent' Clarkson a gift for the compliment with the actress responding: 'No. I was afraid I would hear from his wife because I wanted it clear that I [saw it on set].' She added that she 'didn't hear from anyone and now I am angry.' Back in 2018 the star shocked as she discussed Timberlake's manhood on the show. The Pieces of April star, 65, who starred alongside Timberlake, 44, in 2011's Friends With Benefits (pictured), previously branded the singer 'gifted' in a cheeky remark on Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen - and recalled the moment on Thursday's episode She said: 'Cause if we wanna talk about big. Sorry Justin, oh God.' A delighted Cohen asked: 'Is Justin endowed well?' To which Patricia replied: 'Well, I had the good fortune to get to see him all there because they were shooting a scene where he couldn't have anything on. They couldn't contain it. He is a gorgeous man.' Cohen confirmed: 'He's gifted below the waist?' to which Patricia nodded. Now happily married to Biel, the mother of his two sons, Timberlake was once memorably labelled Trousersnake by the British press. The nickname was coined after the former N*Sync star was romantically linked to a string of beauties following his high-profile split from Britney Spears in March 2002. Back in 2004 he griped about the nickname, telling an LA radio station: 'I hate it. It started in the UK and took on a life of its own. I'm still not sure what it means.' In December 2024 Timberlake had fans in a frenzy after a wardrobe malfunction during his concert in Nashville. The pop star was performing at Bridgestone Arena on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour when things took an unexpected turn, as a harness around his waistline drew attention to a particularly noticeable area. In a viral clip captured by a fan, Timberlake can be seen performing with the harness riding a little too high, making his crotch the star of the moment. The camera zoomed in for a closer look as the singer awkwardly tugged at his shirt, seemingly trying to cover up the surprise bulge. Naturally, social media exploded and trolls quickly pounced, poking fun at the situation with some cheeky comments. One critic couldn't resist a nod to JT's SexyBack, writing, 'Bringing micro back.' Another quipped, 'The way he tugged his shirt to cover it...' while one user dragged his wife, Jessica Biel, into the mix with a snarky, 'No wonder Jessica Biel be looking miserable all the time.' Timberlake may have been caught off guard, but it looks like his fans were the ones who couldn't keep it together.
