Christina Applegate Says ‘Anchorman’ Pay Offer Was ‘Offensive,’ So Will Ferrell and Adam McKay Gave Her More Money From Their Own Salaries: ‘I Know My Worth’
> “When they came in with the initial offer, it was, you know, a little offensive,” Applegate noted. “And I said I can’t. I know my worth, and I can’t do that. They wanted me bad enough, and they said, ‘Well, we’re gonna chip in.’, Thank god they did because it was one of the best experiences of my entire life.”
> Applegate continued, “It was such a lesson. I had never done improv before. Learning from that group of dudes… that is the masterclass that people pay for. Steve Carell like taught it. Adam McKay developed an entire new way of doing it with his group. To get in there and have that happen was absolutely magic and it’s been invaluable to me and my career.”

Someone educate me. Isn’t the fact that she had so much to learn, the basis of the lower salary?

Did Applegate make that film famous or did Ferrel, Carell and Rudd?
