In the nineteenth annual Women in Hollywood issue, Octavia Spencer is one of the nine leading female actress that made the cut. Inside the issue Octavia talks about the time she had to stand up for herself:
“Early on I had to stand up to a producer – I won’t say who, but he is famous, famous. He dressed me down in a crowded office. I told him right there in front of a hundred people, ‘You don’t know me well enough to use that tone’…And then I ran to the bathroom and cried like a baby. But he never addressed me that way again. And he is known as a yeller.”
Is there a time when you had to stand up for yourself?
