Canadian actor Tatiana Maslany has gained serious Hollywood street cred as the star of the critically acclaimed TV series Orphan Black. But she told People on Friday she's not down with how the industry treats women:
Like being told, 'Let's not talk about that, sweetheart,' if I have an issue with being hit on by a 50-year-old when I was 17 and on set. It's never ending. Being put into this little outfit that showed my midriff in a scene where I'm supposed to be grieving the death of a family member, and it's like, 'Make sure that her belly button is showing' – it's just pathetic. It's so pathetic. [People]
