I read about that "scandalous" VANITY FAIR cover shoot, and I have some problems with the information. The women are all different sizes, so why would it matter who got in the dressing room first? They're not going to have the same clothes, no way.
As for this salary business, ABC paid all five leading actresses plus James Denton a quarter of a million dollars each salary bonuses for their work this year. I seriously doubt they will meet any $1 million salary demands for any of them, if in fact it's true they asked for that. They had to have signed contracts at the start of the series for a certain number of years at a guaranteed salary. Usually, a network will make reasonable increases if a show's popularity continues past the first couple of years, but there is NO way any of those actors is going to be given $1 million an episode this early in the game, if at all.
