, revealed that the late actor contributed a portion of his salary from the film to her so she could continue working as a co-producer on the movie. Boseman also played a vital role in securing her the role of detective Frankie Burns in the film.He was a fan of my work, which was thrilling, because it was reciprocated from me to him, tenfold. So he approached me to do it, he offered me this film, and it was at a time when I really didn’t want to work anymore.
While signing on for the fairly big-budget film, Miller said she asked for a salary that the studio wouldn’t agree to, and she was already reluctant to get back to work since her daughter was starting school and it was “an inconvenient time.” “I said, ‘I’ll do it if I’m compensated in the right way.’ And Chadwick ended up donating some of his salary to get me to the number that I had asked for,” she said. “He said that that was what I deserved to be paid.”
The graciousness Boseman showed, Miller noted, is hard to come by within the entertainment industry. She had previously not recounted the story publicly, but believed it was a testament to who Boseman was. It was about the most astounding thing that I’ve experienced,” she told Empire. “That kind of thing just doesn’t happen. He said, ‘You’re getting paid what you deserve, and what you’re worth.’ It’s just unfathomable to imagine another man in that town behaving that graciously or respectfully.
