Melissa McCarthy's Rise in Hollywood and Economic Empowerment

On the entertainment scene, the dollar signs of stars are as varied as their shows. For example, while Keiko Agena, who played Lane Kim, has a rumored $300,000, for Liza Weil, who portrayed Paris Geller, the number stands at $3 million. However, when it comes to the individual of the “Gilmore Girls” cast that has reached the financial stardom, the best example would be Melissa McCarthy. With her starring role of Sookie St. James, McCarthy emerged in the Hollywood scene as a bright new star. Her rise to prominence, however, came when she transitioned from a successful TV show to a string of hit movies and ended up setting a new standard when starting her fashion chain. Her combination of talent in movies, and entrepreneurship in the fashion sector, naturally raised her value and became the basis for further economic empowerment. The dichotomy that one can observe for the two actresses stated at the beginning and McCarthy shows both the vast differences and the tremendous potential the modern Hollywood-based actors and actresses have.
