Julianna Margulies: “I turned down $27 million”

old news

[quote]She really hit a wall.

Yes, she did.

With her face.

I didn't even know she knew Divine.

Aside, from her Buddha awakening, I wonder if she Margulies had a big safety net of money that helped her make the decision not to accept $27 million.

She left ER and went directly on to the lead in a very successful prime time drama for seven years (The Good Wife). I doubt she regretted walking away from ER for a nanosecond.

She's a cunt.

Christ Julianna, let the fillers settle. The ratty Korean wig looks horrendous- she can afford better hair!

Oprah continues to be a disingenuous cunt, they’re well matched.

Her hair is seriously the worst. Does she ever look at herself in the mirror?

Two rich, entitled, privileged bitches talking about "oh, I went to a bookstore and read a Buddha book and learned I don't need $27 million because I'm already a rich cunt".

Fuck these two. Seriously.

I have greater respect for Archie Panjabi.

Back when I lived in West Hollywood, she and her then-husband Ron Eldard used to get coffee/drinks at the same Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf that I went to. I ran into them in line to order, or waiting for drinks, several times. Occasionally they made eye contact nodded "hello," but what I noticed more was how kind they were to the workers. In the 10-15 times I ran into them there, I do not recall one time that anybody obviously recognized them.

27 million could buy a lot of fillers and better wigs.

When did Oprah start looking like that prophet from The Dark Crystal?

Why do has-been actors love bringing up the opportunities they passed up when they were relevant? All it proves is how stupid they were.

Christ, she looks terrible

She was the most vile individual on the set of The Good Wife.

Particularly cruel to fellow females.

I can no longer look at her or hear about her without thinking how unattractive she is due to witnessing her noxious interactions on set.

no r5 it was a number of yeas between ER and The Good Wife with a failed pilot, a disastrous film career (Snakes on a Plane) and then putting her tail between her legs and running back to TV.

Plus she's married (lavender? remember Ron Eldard) to a doctor.

Saw her on one of those Hollywood Reporter roundtables. Talked about how she works 16 hour days 5 days a week and then must have one day per week just for herself where she goes to the movies or something. The kid seems like an afterthought.

Miss Crawford reborn.

I believe this. Jaleel White turned down 78 billion dollars to do a twelve season of Family Matters as TV’s Urkel.

make that a failed show not a failed pilot

Sherry Stringfield is the one who regrets walking away from huge money and a huge career. Hollywood still talks about her leaving both NYPD Blue and ER.

Oprah acting like 27 million is a big deal to her.

Christine Baranski hates her... that should say a lot

I'll give her $2.00 to shut up for life.

What kind of thing did Julianna actually do to co-workers for them to not like her?

“I knew I wanted to learn more not earn more” hmmm… she seems damaged. Plenty of time to learn after a mere two extra years for 27 million. I take it being on the show must have been worse than any of us can imagine or 27 million is just pocket change for her. Maybe she didn’t want the money to get into the pockets of her handlers…

It seems again like rewriting history. I doubt she would be boasting about turning down 27 million had she not landed back on her feet and gotten the good wife. These flakes then act like it was some kind of spiritual awakening or that it was destiny. She simply got lucky because Elizabeth shue or whoever didn’t want to take the role in the good wife.

I know she has at least 2 more hit series left in her. What a legend.

True classic of the jandra

Make her go away, along with Demi Lovato and Madonna!

So many bitter and jealous cunts in this thread lol

Fat facer

Why would NBC pay her that much to stay? It was pretty apparent people watched ER for the show not the stars.

It survived superstar George Clooney leaving without a blip in the ratings.

Thank you for weighing in, foul-mouthed fourteen-year-old girl.
