Claire Foy To Receive $275,000 In Back Pay From ‘The Crown’

Claire Foy and Matt Smith are former co-stars of the first two seasons of 'The Crown' on Netflix. In late April, they found themselves in the midst of a gender pay gap controversy. This occurred after producers of the show admitted that Smith received a higher paycheck than Foy, even though she was the lead character, playing Queen Elizabeth II, in a female-driven show. Foy wasn’t shocked, and it was clear that neither she nor Smith wanted to be in the middle of this scuffle.
