Betty Gilpin Describes Creepy Producers and Feeling Unsafe on Set

[@YaleStewartArt]

First off, Betty Gilpin is fantastic, GLOW is fantastic, this interview is fantastic, but I am cracking up at Sam's (perfectly warranted and legitimate!) reaction shots in the first half of this interview.

[@sleepingdogpro]

I'm always thrown when I remember that a lot of guys have no idea of this daily reality. Like, at all.

[@FeverFromDaBronx]

Lol

[@skylinerunner1695]

I confess to having the same expression when one of my sisters gave me a brief rundown of the typical comments she'd get from customers while working at a bar. They ranged from the awkward to the outright pornographic and left me stunned and wanting to storm that bar with a broad sword.

[@johnshannon9656]

[@nsmith3128]

She made a otherwise trash movie pretty good.

[@beths3288]

Gilpin makes very astute observations. For the average women leaving her 20's behind, these are very real self identity reflections, so I can only imagine what an actor has to grapple with.

[@skylinerunner1695]

You make a great point. It's such a judgemental industry so no wonder American actresses envy their French counterparts who are celebrated and given lead roles clear into older age. Personally, I found her words heartbreaking at being treated and looked at in such a reductive and predatory manner. I have learned, by having four younger sisters, the vast difference between being a man and a woman in this world, but it continues to blow my mind.

[@siobhanmulvey]

Great conversation. Thank you for these. Betty is a gem. I love hearing everyone be so candid and authentic.

[@quytw]

She has soo much to give as an actreess but rare opportunity to show. She can play both comedy and drama so well. Thats why her struggles are 10 times more feels like a battle. Struggles with expessing herself in her proffesion. She has so much energy to tell the world about her knowledge and skills yet no directors are lining up to give he a role. Betty is a gem at her job. Shame on them.

[@miraposajehano4309]

Beautiful, she thoughtfully put into words reality that men rarely have to deal with. She's epitomizing the gap at work between men and women about working condition, salary and respect.

[@andremotivation6561]

Alright youtube, being young and beautiful gets audiences, and there is nothing bad about conforming to these realities while wanting to be treated respectfully and not like a piece of meat. I love her GLOW character and there is just no need to invalidate her feelings about male gazes. She’s speaking about her experiences, and not yours. A little decency even online is really, tending to your own garden - your world. Ta for reading.

[@rw5472]

He’ll Yeah Betty ..honesty and wisdom sprinkled with kindness so rare with humans

[@PlaceForAnEcho]

Great interview! Her descriptions are spot on and slightly brutal but could have been far harsher. I’m all for the harsh. The male gaze needs to go on the back burner. Some of the best movies come from females being heavily involved in the production process. Loved the message of “love yourself” was promoted on the set of Glow. You can feel that when watching it.

[@jayweh]

great question; brilliant elaboration by betty. she's so observant and knows how to transmit her opinion.

[@1810verdeXVIII]

Less than a minute into this vid,I already love her direct approach to the reality of being a woman because some of us guys tend to easily overlook when it comes to multiple intricate details that womankind has to go through in comparison to the simplicity that men go through

Great interview! I just watched "The Hunt" I wanted to know more about her back story in that movie. Also she was great in Nurse Jackie

[@DAVIDTORRESANI]

I'm in your place in 2022. I just finished Nurse Jackie for 100th time and I just seen it as a 34 yr. Old .. Only this time I noticed Betty in a different way. Other than attraction. After Nurse Jackie I followed up w/ Hunt. Next is Glow. He really does great at comedic acting. She complements comedy I think. Well I'm super curious who Betty Gilpin is as a person as you we're 1 yr. Ago. I hope we get more Betty .

[@Mendeljew]

I hope for a day that will come when actresses can walk onto a set, feel safe around the producers that put them there and know that there is a future for their careers not because of their bodies but because of their talent. I hope

[@DAVIDTORRESANI]

I'm binging Betty. I've watched Nurse Jackie so many times and only seen Betty as that pause moment just say , Damn!. Lol But I just watched it as a 34 yr.old and I noticed Betty in a very different light. Her Humor, mannerisms and simply comedic acting. I see Betty as a favorite now. I want her in more roles as the lead. Thanks Betty!

[@DeRussellMasina]

Very interesting, open & honest communication from her.

[@HeavyK.]

Betty Gilpin made a stupid movie absolutely entertaining. She used the narrow space she was allowed and masterfully created a central character that pulled everything together in an otherwise stupid story. Her level of performance here will certainly invite her talents to be sought after in any dimension she wishes to express them.

[@StoriedArt]

Betty gilpin is a national treasure who should have more screentime...I'm even upset the hunt didn't do better so she could be a huge movie star. But I have to ask this even if a get flack for it...with the quite frequent amounts of nudity in glow isn't that a win for the patriarchy and every creepy producer betty mentions here? Seriously, that show is fantastic with or without a show of skin yet I always feel like nudity is there just for a ratings grab even if it's on Netflix. Where is the freedom in doing exactly what Hollywood always demands of women...I don't understand that at all. But, please, keep giving bett gilpin parts because she is an amazing talent.

[@randolfo1265]

I have just found this channel - brilliant!

[@samsong24]

Betty makes soooo many valid points that I never hear discussed. My question is; why do women need all this makeup/hair? It actually takes me out of the film when I see such coiffed hair and such immaculate makeup on a character that is supposed to have very little time to herself nor the resources to look that good. Why can't they just have a ponytail/messy bun (which is easy for continuity) and either no makeup or very little makeup? And before you say that it's so they don't look washed-out on film...then why do the men only require so little? I just don't get it.

[@jmart5581]

Wow.... what an honest and poignant answer as a woman and actress; Jesus how much I underestimated and understood this woman from Nurse Jackie. Simply...Wow! Good on you Betty Gilpin! 👍😎

[@joshoverholt3141]

I like her on GLOW and The Hunt and I had no idea it was the same person.

[@skylinerunner1695]

Her resignation and sadness at being unfulfilled and undervalued as an artist and a human being is heartbreaking. Meanwhile, that grubby producer has no idea how belittled she felt at him copping a feel, and in fact has already forgotten her very existence and has likely pawed dozens of other young actresses since.

[@winstonhow3614]

[@StevePhil-qw4ep]

I like her because she makes very smart choices in what she does and we all know if theres a me too victim out here its definitely her.

[@Angels-3xist]

All environments should include and allow experiencing, expressing and sharing the full range of humanity at it’s best and never be strangled through narrow and destructive definitions that keep people from being who they are at all. How do you expect anyone to be all they are if they can only be what you think and tell them to be while they squeeze that through the eye of a needle. It’s worth understanding that all people we ever interact with are foremost human.

It's interesting that as she criticizes the industry and the "patriarchy" for viewing her as a sex object that she also criticizes a producer for his looks. So if he looked like a movie star, then he could put his hand on her back? What is the criticism then? That he put his hands where they shouldn't be? Or that he wasn't good looking enough to do it?

[@roberts3741]

Exactly. And she doesn’t have to be there at all if she has such a problem with how Hollywood treats her. If acting is her passion, then why not go to the theater where she can truly express herself? But she won’t because she likes money and she likes the attention.

This is the curse of being beautiful, eventually your looks fade. It's really the only curse cause the beautiful live a charmed life up until that point. A life the average woman or man can not relate to, so while she makes great points. She is also very lucky to be born good looking cause if she was hundred pounds overweight, had a lazy eye or was not the standard of beauty she would be a waitress waiting for her big break.

[@michaelknight4253]

She’s an ugly woman who had facial, stomach, breast and butt surgery. And she’s still a 4 out of 10. Unfortunately, all women (and some men) are treated like objects to be used and disrespected, unless or until they have some power in the biz.

when you're naturally as attractive as Betty is, that's always going to be the first thing people notice and of course there are going to be people in the industry who want to exploit that. And yeah, she's super hot in GLOW, but one helluva actor (whole cast is great). Also enjoyed her performance in 'the Hunt' and really bought her as a bad-ass. She didn't have to force it, she just has a natural kind of understated awesomeness about her.

So in other words, Betty Gilpin is a sellout. Because she doesn’t HAVE to put up with that. She can make the choice to not be in those productions or work with those people. Go to the theater if you find Hollywood so restrictive, limiting, and misogynist. But she won’t because she likes having money and she likes the attention.
