Updated:8 years ago

New Delhi, Oct 08 (ANI): American actress Emma Stone, who has been garnering praises for her performance in 'Battle of the Sexes', feels that there is still a ''long way to go'' in closing the gender pay gap. While talking at a film screening at London Film Festival, Stone, who portrays the U.S. sporting legend, Billie Jean King, in 'Battle of the Sexes', said, “Something Billie Jean talks about is she'd get a lot of people coming up to her and saying, 'Billie Jean, I watched the Battle of the Sexes - the original match in 73 - and I went to work the next day and asked for a raise.' 'Did you get it?' She added, “And they're like, 'Yeah because I asked for it, but you empowered me to ask for it.' She can speak more about that than I can, but there's still a long way to go.” The Oscar-winning actress recently made headlines as she topped the Forbes list of highest paid movie actresses of 2017 with USD 26 million.
