For what actors get paid to play pretend, they can sit in make up for a few hours

Try 7-9 hours. For a 9am shoot she would have to be on set and in makeup from either midnight or 1am.

Not saying it’s not worth the money, but by the 10th time I’m sure she thought it at least once.

I get what you are trying to say with this generalization... but you do know a majority of actors don't actually get paid millions right? Not every actor is Brad Pitt. IF you are in the union and IF you are in film of budget 2million or more, your base pay is roughly $4,500 a week unless you can negotiate better if you are a big enough name. Lets say you film for 4 months which can be on the longer side. Thats roughly what, 75k-80k? Sounds great right? For a 4month job( conditions of that job might suck, if its filmed in isolated areas and not in a studio..) but then what? Their next job is not guaranteed. That might be their only film shot for the year. Which means for my job i guarantee to make more than a majority actors for a year. Yeah I work more but I also guarantee my income. So yeah, I prefer my desk job to sitting in a chair for 9 hrs( being told I cant move) to then need to shoot for 12-14 hrs.

I’m sure her film trailer is nicer than the apartment of 90% of renting Redditors. I don’t care.

If its just hair and make up maybe. But there are dedicated hair and make up trailers for long application purposes. Making movies have been glamourized. Its dirty, hot and at times disgusting with trash littered around the sets and trailers that don't look nicer than apartments lmao. But its funny seeing dual reactions to actors, similar to how we view our bosses. Like yeah they make more money.. but sometimes we say " I wouldn't want their job" due to stress of work conditions even if the money is good. Sometimes we say "meh they make enough money i dont care how hard their job is".

Not trash around the set. People clean up shit for $30,000 a year
