Mystique
Gets The Money
Former model turned actress
Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, who plays Mystique in 'X-Men : The Movie', was
paid more then her fellow cast members in relative terms.
She had a contract that paid her per-word spoken and because she
had so few lines, she was paid more per word than any other cast
member of 'X-Men'. Stamos said, "I was wearing little more than a
glorified bikini. I am aware of the stigma of 'model-turned-actress'
but I really hope that people will take me seriously as an
actress."
