Robin Wright pushed for equal pay with Kevin Spacey on 'House of Cards', ultimately achieving pay equality by becoming an executive producer and directing episodes.
Spacey, who is also visiting the world's biggest film festival to help find buyers for his new film The Awakening, will be recognised not only for his decades of artistic brilliance but also for his enduring impact on cinema and the arts.
"At the Oscars, they called Kevin Spacey's name for 'American Beauty.' I have a memory of turning around and looking at him, and nobody was standing but the people around him. And everyone else was looking at me."
