The role in Thelma and Louise (1991) directed by Ridley Scott was Brad Pitt’s first big step on his way to dazzling success: thanks to this part, Pitt was noticed in Hollywood. And the fact that the actor received only $6,000 for his work was not a problem as he soon took revenge. For example, Pitt’s pay for his role in Ocean’s Eleven (2001) was $30 million.
