that mustard shoe and suit is poppin’
Thats the damn truth!! that suit!!!
Yes! The Dijon of it all! #LovinIT
POPP-IN!!!!
_ 27 lol😂
@@jocelynatl not the Dijon!
Two intelligent women from different backgrounds, each talking about their own experience so honestly and listening to each other so attentively. No talking over one another, no dismissal. Nice to see. This is how it's done.
Kay Dot I love it 2 strong women i love both these women
Thats normal life.?! Media fucks up the pre-perceived stereotype. Which stifles important Conversations amongst women of different backgrounds you coming to the conversation assuming that a black or Latin person would be angry about your question then stuff doesn’t get talked about why black or latin person comes into a conversation assuming that a white person won’t empathize because that’s what we seen on TV. this should be a regular conversation. No pre-perceived standards every conversation should be brand new. I don’t think this should HAVE TO BE SAID... so sad smh
Unlike some
And even when Ellen talked over Taraji she apologised. Love them
Two different backgrounds??? Why??? Because one woman is Black and yhe other White???
I'm nodding my head like I'm apart of the conversation 😂😂😂
thought i was the only one lol
LOL, I always do that. Now I won't feel so sad about it XD
No Regrets Baby Just Good Vibes Over Here me too🤣😂🤣😂
This is prob my fav comment lol
@@madajafarmer5414 aww thank you 😂❤💯
I find it so honest that Taraji is talking about her value in salary terms. It’s so refreshing. No one ever talks about that.
black people are real about this struggle. hellen makes 50 times more than miss hanson
Lechiffresix six Yes she does but Greys Anatomy makes buckets of money so. I personally love the fact that Shonda Rhimes is behind it all and she seem to be pretty fab person! Surely earning more than both of these ladies.
What's funny is they give so many dudes big films without showing their worth. I see what Taraji is saying but big picture they do not value people the way she is stating. It would be nice if they did but it's simply not true.
@@PHlophe You mean Henson.
I love how she names numbers. Yes!
lmfao when taraji burts out laughing at patricks 13 pilots that didnt get picked up
Haha, Patrick is always funny. Teen pizza man. The end.

Everyone that commented on this, shouldn’t have lmao
@@siriolsen7805 random. It's impolite to throw in a random topic in someone else's comment thread. Delete n take this over to James Charles channel...
@@matthewharjo7512 Lmao, Siri Olsen copy and pasted this exact comment to multiple comments wtf spam lord
They jumped in & out of each other conversation, flawlessly like double Dutch
As far as Grey's goes.... Blows my mind that McDreamy was making more money than Ellen considering the show is based on her and her past that brought her to becoming a Dr. I respect both these women so much and wish to God I had the courage that they possess. Keep.pushing ladies! You both are remarkable, beautiful, successful women!!
They both look amazing!! 48 and 49 years old! SUCH a great conversation, with two intelligent and beautiful women!
Ain't that the truth?!!
@@darionwilson3666 Welllllll 🤔 is it or isn't it?!! lol
😍😍😍
ellen aged badly.
@@voguehaven5154 how, apart from a few wrinkles around her eyes?
This makes me like Ellen Pompeo alot because she did her research and she did enough to ask question to make conversation with Taraji, this was a good Convo between two people
I think she’s also married to a black man so she’s aware of the issues that plague Black America
Ellen is not afraid to have the uncomfortable conversations😍🥰❤️ I love her
er... ellen has half black kids. she had to get on board
@@PHlophe NO she didn't. There is evidence of plenty of people who have kids with a black person coming out of their mouth with crazy stuff or being in big time denial. I think they are running from those conversations or something.
I wanna see them do a film where they’re best friends 😭 they’d have bomb on screen chemistry💕
I was thinking the same thing! 👏🏼💜
Bailie Franklin A crime fighting show
I think the same aswell
Yes! Or sisters! I was thinking the same.
@@lauralunaazul yes!
The fact that Taraji could not get 500,000 for Benjamin Button is crazy
She got less than $200,00 and she had to pay for her own lodging for 9 months.
Racism in Hollywood at its finest.
@@simeoda wtf 😥
Those directors and producers are pussies! Straight talk to do that shit!
@@simeoda those producers are pussies for that, straight talk.
The shade when she said "he done 13 pilots. None of them have gone" lmao
And I oop-😂
KasTheKid Gaming 😂😂the shade of it allll
kikiwest2001 I don’t get it someone please explain
Flu Jah Pilots are a stand-alone episode of a show that tries to get itself sold to a tv network before becoming a full blown series.
@@Flux799 Flu Jah Therefore, she is saying that Patrick got cast to thirteen different shows that each showed a pilot episode BUT WERE NEVER SOLD to become a full-blown series...which implies his resume SOUNDS nice but he never really got any success on TV, so they should be at the same level...
I wish every white person was like Ellen. We’d live in a much happier, healthier world.
John Dern 😘
John Dern for sure!!!!!!!!
Right?? Ugh I love her.

agreed
Also both these ladies look STUNNING. Hair, makeup, outfits. So beautiful
BEST PAIRING EVER here in Actors on Actors.
I just said that too!!! These too are my favs!!!
EVERRRRRR
They're both angels, get Taraji a franchise!! Also the idea that Ellen couldn't carry Grey's Anatomy is the stupidest thing I'd ever heard of. That show has always been about women and the struggles that everyone faces as individuals, Derek was a supporting character, Meredith is the star! If anything Cristina was a bigger loss to the show although Merder was pivotal. #Winners
I agree, Cristina was a bigger loss
That need to bring Cristina back. Even if it’s just for an episode I need more then just them talking on the phone
I soooooo agree...im still trying to get iver losing cristina! I wish she would agree to come back..even for just a guesr role. It would give the fans some closure
tbh, i stopped watching after yang left.. but I told myself grey is still there. It didnt affect me that much when Derek left the show. Up until now, I still hold onto my twisted sisters moment.
Watching recent episodes of Grey's, I have realized that Meredith has outgrown Derek and his death wasn't the worst thing to happen to her. At all
Ellen always touches her nose when she’s uncomfortable. But she will always stick up for the black community, one of the best Hollywood interviews!
Well she is part of the community. Her husband is black, and her children are bi-racial.
Matthew Harjo Her love for the community is so natural
Matthew Harjo she is not part of, she's an allie but NOT a part of -- she will never live life the way a black person does!
@@berenicei.7283 How does a black person live life?
@@heaux4719 With black skin. I can observe and I can feel thru my loved ones. and I can see whats unfair and what needs to change and fight for change. But at the end of the day i do not know what it feels like to actually deal with these things with black skin.
Praise for Tyler Perry, for paying her for what she deserves. You pay for what you value.
Janice Hughes Monique said otherwise lol
He paid what she asked for. Not her worth.
He paid her enough so she could even have a quote...that's sad.
You get paid what you’re worth
@@isaiahcansang he wouldn’t have paid her that if he didn’t know her worth.
How I feel as a black woman with a college degree overworking underpaid.... Race sadly is still a factor even if you are a hard-working woman.
Mimi everyday you wake up and go to work you are changing the world and the ideas people have of working women. Breaking that glass ceiling one day at a time. I hope you are feeling all the strength and love im sending you from the other side of the wall. 💪🏽
AMEN
oh wow preach!
The richest woman in the country is a black woman.
@@pmai4673 yes that ONE woman. is a black woman. ONE. you sound ridiculous.
Ellen Pompeo is so sassy I love it lol
That bit about Patrick and his 13 pilots omg I'm crying
I don't understand it. 13 pilots is a tv series ?
Sumit Sarkar I’m pretty sure it means he did the pilots for 13 different shows trying to get one picked up for the entire serie
Sumit Sarkar meaning he shot the first episode for 13 different shows but none of them got put on air 😂😂😂
Timestamp?
That's crazy man lol
It’s sad to know it was toxic, because those were the best seasons ,my POV.
Right! They were the best.
Yes...
TRUE!!!!
The first seasons were the best. it's like that quote from Devil wears prada by Nigel: "Let me know when your whole life goes up in smoke. Means it's time for a promotion." Basically if you're winning in public, your personal life is -ish.
Two intelligent women unafraid to have an honest conversation. This should be the standard. Taraji being unapologetically black and Ellen being so self-aware is amazing. Awesome interview!
yes! exactly that
These women are almost 50 and stunning!! Taraji's transparency is remarkable!
ellen aged badly
VogueHaven fuck off
Just think about the episode if someone on Empire ended up in the emergency room on Grey's and Cookie and Meredith had a showdown lol

Hold your imagination please
Justin M. Disney owns both shows now it could happen lol
Now, that would be something!
It wouldn't be a showdown. They would probably give each other respect.
16:40 - Tv Quote, lol the tea pouring 😂 “Hes done 13 pilots, well none of them have gone" 😂😂😂😂
shadeeeeeeeee
I don’t get it.
@@maha1969 pilots are like episode 1 that you use to audition the show to the network. he did 13 of these for separate shows that never got picked up to be a full series
I love these two together!!! “He’s done 13 pilots, but non of them have ever gone” Ellen is not to be played with lmao! She’s a gem!
Taraji and Ellen look absolutely ravishing in these outfits!!! Elegant, breathtaking and impeccable women!!!
They really do! But Ellens who outfit just sllllayed my life! That color! Ugh!!!
49? It's the new 35. Wow 😮😮😮😮
Who would have thought Meredith Grey and Cookie Lyons in the same room
Heartbreaking to hear that such a distinguished actress has had to prove her worth after soooo many years in the industry, but so happy this conversation is being had about inequality and wage gaps between women. Amazing discussion!
I’m genuinely confused- isn’t Shonda Rhimes a woman of color who runs Greys Anatomy and many other shows? Why was there ever a wage gap or sexism if she was in charge?
@@ashleyquartararo2336 Shonda Rhimes isn't in control of how much actors are paid. She is a writer and a producer, yes, but there are so many people above her (like ABC studio executives) that are actually "in charge" and have more control than any of us realize
I love how Ellen feels so comfortable talking about race, it's very important.
They are having a real conversation! This is #dope
Ellen Pompeii is 50! Listen when your genuine and humble mother nature sees it!
She's 50?! God damm... I'd be so happy to age like that😂
The show (Grey’s anatomy) did not need Darrick, the character was just nice hair. Watching Ellen’s character grow with and without her characters husband was an amazing rollercoaster. The show was incredible and believe me I don’t see it going well without Ellen and the characters lost in the 15th season.
Kayleigh Sky no Derek added a lot to the show. I stopped watching the show after he died but not because I believe a male lead is necessary to keep the shoe running. The show started going downhill after season 8 imo, it was the most fun the first 6 seasons. When amazing female characters like Cristina, Izzie, Addison, Lexie, and Callie started leaving the show it lost a lot of the humor and when amazing make characters like Derek and Mark left the show it lost a lot of humor and romance. It’s unfair for Patrick to be paid more than Ellen since her character is the focus of the serie but that doesn’t mean he has to be objectified as ‘just nice hair’ because that’s not fair and his character was amazing and added a lot to the show
I agree. There's no greys without Ellen Pompeo. Derek was overrated imo.
@@anikarahman193 For me Mark & Callie , Cristina & Meredith added the excitement with their friendship and chemistry. I stopped watching once Cristina left.
This was a really good conversation
Very refreshing to hear them speak so candidly
Taraji legs are shining honey and I'm loving it😌🔥💯😎
Ellen is down for the culture and I love her for it. Taraji flawless per usual😌.
She is invited to every cookout 😀😀
Saved and Delivered Yes she’s definitely my favorite white person
Ellen is invited to the BBQ. . . She's gets it
She's got a Black husband and 3 black kids, yes she definitely gets it. Love her!
I’ve always like her
They have great chemistry. They should definitely do something together.
Taraji is been around for a while, it's great to see her "break out" but it's long overdue.
fredrick carling it’s INSANE
She was in a few sister sister episodes even
One of the strongest and most powerful conversation.
What an important and incredibly interesting conversation!! THIS is why l love these Actor on Actor interviews so much! 👏👏👏
Ellen looks 🤩🤤🔥🤤😍❤❤😍❤🔥❤🤩🤤🔥🤤🔥🤤😍❤🔥❤🤩❤🤩🤤🔥🤤🔥🤤 is she even human!?!?!? And wtff is wrong with hollywood!? Ellen deserved to be paid a lot more than Patrick. The show is called GREY'S anatomy, not shepherd's, and she acts better, tbh. And Taraji deserves SO much better! She's waaay more talented and badass than like 90% of the actresses in hollywood. 🙄😍😍😍😍
lepakshi a j I know I love her so much too!!❤️❤️
We don't need to put white actresses down to lift black actresses up. Although I do understand your point! I love Ellen and Taraji, they are both amazing actresses and people! :)
@@noordurrani678 totally agree. I rly didn't intend to put white actresses down, but my comment does seem like i was. I edited it a bit now. What i meant was that she's better than 90% of actresses in general, but i said 'white actresses' because they get paid more. I definitely feel there are as many great white actresses as black ones. There r so many white actresses that i stan
ndurrani when did put a white actress down?
Right. He was just making a comeback. He was more well known but was he that much of a draw before the show started? I don't remember anyone feening for some Dempsey.
Ellen Pompeo is drop dead gorgeous... Love her 😍😍 49 and still got it ❤❤
Ifkr! 😍🤩
Facts
oh it's beautiful interview to both .. but Taraji she is be always amazing .. i love her .. please i want Taraji and Viola to be together pleaaaaaaaaaseeeeeee
the hollywood reporter has an actress roundtable from 2015 that they're both on, its great
Honestly Tarajii was probably talking about Person of Interest. I believe she was alluding to that show about being miserable and rightly so because the show is amazing but I could always tell in interviews she wasn't fully there for it. But I really loved her character on the show, it just sucked that she and the behind the scenes creators were not getting along.
sundawg911 I’m glad you brought up Person Of Interest! Love the show, and loved her in it too. I didn’t know that she didn’t along with the producers.... or the “behind the scenes” staff. But I’ve never heard her say ANYTHING about POI.....hmm!
Oh yeah. good one. She was great on that show. My husband was so mad when they finally moved where he wanted the story to move and then *poof* she was gone.
T C Yes! They finally wrapped up that HR mess, and she was gone! It took me a while to watch the series after that, but I watched most of it..... eventually! I was getting sick of Dominic, though. Do you remember that storyline?
@@deb7457 Yeah Dominic's storyline was boring and weakest part of the later half of the show. I always skip his episodes when I rewatch.
Yeah I peeped that too! I always wondered why she left! I thought she was amazing on the show 😭it wasn’t the same for me when she left.
That was an amazing conversation. Very inspiring. Both women are beautiful. But that was honest to openly discuss gender and race inequality in terms of pay...love how Ellen made the point of self education. Very refreshing dialogue
I’m living for those outfits and Taraji and Ellen are both GORGEOUSSSS ❤️
Yes, Lord. The stylist was on fire. I don't know that I would have done such a thin shoulder on that blue dress on Taraji for this interview, but Beautiful nonetheless.
Ellen's honesty, frankness and approach to Taraji's struggle is so refreshing.
I feel like this is very common. Great work for discount price. These are 2 amazing actresses and even they have to deal with this. I love both shows so much.
Great interview when Ellen made that comment about white actresses not getting the struggle if someone was working more than them it took me back to the soap actress tweeting that when Viola Davis gave her speech when she won her oscar. They really don't get a woc struggle but it's nice to see they can learn. I love TPH and watched Person of Interest for her but she really was not used in that show.
Seeing people talk about 500K like it’s nothing and I’m just here like “give me half and my family is uplifted”😭
They pay higher taxes brackets, managers, lawyers, agents and publicists take a cut, you need security and a glam team. It's an expensive life.
Think of it like this, someone complaining about making $25an hour instead of $30 an hour. If they are worth the $30 then they should get the $30 point blank period. It doesn’t matter that they can survive with the $25 an hour
This is one of the most honest actors on actors talking about the real behind the scenes including the money involved. It's good to learn this things. It really showed that actors have their own struggle in the business, especially if they are underrated but excellent at their work.
I don't know much about Grey's Anatomy but I've never thought for a second Patrick Dempsey was THE lead. To be quite honest, everytime I'd watch it for a few minutes, it was always Dr Bailey on screen, kicking the interns asses or whatever lol it took me years to randomly find out who was named Grey on that show.
😂😂😂
Lol yes he was a main character for like 10/11 seasons
Ellen and Taraji definitely had one of the best conversations I've watched.
Taraji P. Henson has never made $5 Million for a film. Let that sink in ladies and gentlemen smh
thetriplethreat3 ??
I really wish Ellen would get the emmy she deserves already! Love her and Taraji
always a pleasure to hear these accomplished, articulate women talk about the important aspects of their job
This convo was so transparent and refreshing, thank you ladies and keep up the great work!!
The fact that both these women started at 26 gives me so much hope
All though she said she started 26 taraji was in the acting business since 15 she mentioned in a video with rayan (they de movie )and her on ACTORS on ACTORS
This was beautiful. Ellen is my queen and Taraji is such a delight!!!
This conversation is INCREDIBLE. Two business women. Two BOSSES. Two talented, creative, powerhouses. And they're both listening to each other and understanding. WOW.
What an articulate and inspiring conversation ❤️
Thank you for this Variety!!!
A blessed convo thank you!
This was a great showcase! Loved the content of the conversation
LOVE these two incredibly strong, smart, & beautiful women breaking ground and paving the way!
Now. I could watch and listen to these two ladies 5 days a week. It would be a fabulous talk show. ❤️❤️❤️
What a great conversation with such amazing actresses! My fave so far
I love watching these Actors on Actors interviews.
They give you some perspective about the behind and what they really go through as actors to create the shows & movies we see.
I also enjoy the Hollywood Reporter Round Table interviews, too.
I’m been waiting for these two my queens ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is the first episode where I was engrossed from start to finish and never stopped watching. Love these two!
Awesome interview! I want more!
This was so beautiful and effortless!
Yass ladies. I want them to Do a project together
28:35 YASSS JLO REPRESENT. LATINOS!
Chrissy Lyn That would be awesome!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Chrissy Lyn omg yassss!! I’d love to see the colab together!! I’d pay good money to see that for sure !!!! Ellen and cookie get it going lol
I really enjoyed their conversation!
Thank you for providing an opportunity for this conversation! 👏🏻
Why are there not more views on this video?! It's so insightful and lovely to watch!
Loved this. Respect, love and admire these two so much. I remember both of them as guest stars on shows Taraji on Sister Sister and Ellen on Friends.
It’s so inspirational watching interviews like this one when two women are talking about their job, the industry and all the obstacles they have to pass to arrive where they are right now. So thank you for inspire the next generation
This was a good interview. For real I watched the whole thing and learned and got an understanding about a lot. Good job
2 of the actresses I look up to. This meant so much to me. Great Conversation❤️
These two and this conversation...PHENOMENAL 🙌🏿🙌🏿 First time seeing one of these Actor on Actor videos and I love the concept
I can see Ellen having her own talk show. I would watch.
She has a podcast called Tell me with Ellen mpopeo Candice
Omg Ellen just hit the nail on the head when she mentioned how producers lure actors with a great role ... it’s the same in any industry... I’ve recently had a major change in my work place and new people have been hired at the same position as I being paid way more than I do, despite me proving that I can do the role better and then not performing at all.
Wow! This was incredible to watch. Both are inspiring and wonderful women. I think that Ellen being married to a man of color really opened her eyes to the issues people of color face. I’m glad she realizes those issues. She’s not afraid to talk about how caucasians have a leg up majority (basically all of the time) of the time. She clearly can understand how Taraji May feel in certain situations. Women supporting women! 👏
I’ve learnt so much from this conversation, two powerful beautiful having a respectful and much needed conversation 💜💜💜
That was 30 minutes?! Wow I was so drawn in it felt like maybe 10. You know the conversation is fascinating when you don’t even notice the time going by, you’re just so locked in with the conversation and everything being talked about, this was really interesting. Ellen is always a very articulate speaker I love her interviews, I don’t watch empire so I’m not familiar with that story line, but the actresses story was still very interesting as well. Two powerhouses right there
Being an actress /actor is amazing... And we thank you. 😊😊😊😊😊❤️❤️
I love both of them so much ❤️❤️ great smart talented actresses,great video
I can’t be the only one to think this is the best so far?! 💓💓
I thought Ellen and Shonda were close. Couldn't she go to her and want better story lines. Ellen is so poised and intelligent. Love this honest talk between two actresses! Both look amazing!!!! 💕
They are close. She was talking about that in the beginning. She did say the culture changed when the two of them got together to make changes such as bringing in Debbie Allen.
This was such a raw and beautiful conversation. Why did I just find this video!?!
I love these two! Both women are remarkably talented. This was a insight and lovely conversation about their experiences in the industry. Keep up this amazing series Variety!
I love love love love this! What a great pic for this video! Such a great conversation!!!!! Viola Davis and Sandra Bullock would be great as well!!!!
This conversation is so moving and I am loving how authentic and honest each woman is speaking. I love them so much and to see them as people and not playing their characters is so moving. Brava
This was a great conversation 💖💖
This was an amazing and encouraging conversation! I feel really inspired by these two women! They are leading the way and I feel proud to watch them!
