Emmy Rossum Wins Salary Dispute

An update on an earlier story: it appears that Emmy Rossum has won her salary dispute. The Hollywood Reporter announces that Rossum was holding up production for Season 8 of Showtime's Shameless due to the salary talks. She had been paid less than co-lead William H. Macy for the duration of the show, so Rossum was seeking not only parity with Macy, but slightly more than his pay to make up for all of the seasons in which she did not receive parity. No comment on exactly where her final salary ended up, but I think it's safe to say that at a minimum, she is now making as much as Macy. And for the record, Macy was fully supportive of her salary demands.

Playing Fiona Gallagher has been one of the great privileges of my life. I'm so happy to continue w my SHAMELESS family!Back to work in May!
