If you or a loved one was diagnosed with Mesothelioma you may be entitled to financial compensation.

They more you learn, the more you realize how much progress has been made over the years.

Fun fact: Judy Garland was paid less than her costars

Judy Garland’s salary: $500 a week.
Ray Bolger’s salary: $3,000 a week.
Jack Haley’s salary: $3,000 a week.
Bert Lahr’s salary: $2,500 a week.

Surprisingly, she was paid more than Toto. Toto’s salary: $125 a week.

Yeah Judy Garland was horribly abused. Physically, mentally, sexually, forced to take drugs to control her.

That’s even more than I thought she would have made though. That’s $11,000 a week adjusted for inflation.

Nothing compared to the $66,000 a week the others earned though.

Wasn’t she an unknown, while they were all famous stars, though?

The same happens today.

“The cast of Moana earned a total of $56 million. Auli’i Cravalho, who voiced the title character, made $200,000. Dwayne Johnson, who voiced Maui, earned $21 million. Temuera Morrison, who voiced Moana’s father, earned $2 million.”

I’m not excusing any of the ways they abused Garland. But it made her a star and she earned far more in future roles, just like Cravalho now commands a much higher salary.
