On Wednesday, actress Emmy Rossum announced via concours-twitter.htm">twitter that she had resolved her contract dispute with the producers of her hit show "Shameless," writing "Playing Fiona Gallagher has been one of the great privileges of my life," and adding "I'm so happy to continue with my SHAMELESS family! Back to work in May!" This comes after reports that the 30-year-old actress had not only demanded equal pay for her work ahead of the show's eighth season, but that she was also seeking to recover back pay, after years of being paid less than co-star William H. Macy. Gender Equality in Hollywood has been a hot button issue in recent years, after the 2014 Sony hack revealed discrepancies in the salaries of Hollywood's most prominent stars, prompting actresses such as "House of Cards"'s Robin Wright to demand pay equal to that of their male counterparts.
