No Sympathy for Young ‘Lizzie’ Star

Re: “Disney, ‘Lizzie’ Star Parting Ways After Pay Dispute,” May 24:

When I was 16 years old, I accepted a job shelving books at my local branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia at a salary of $1.11 per hour (compared with the minimum wage of $1). I remember telling the director of personnel that I thought it was a “fine salary.”

Later, after college and grad school, my first job paid but $10,200 a year.

So when I read that the bright, perky and talented Hilary Duff finds her “Lizzie McGuire” salary of $15,000 a week unacceptable and wants $100,000 a week for the new series, I guess I don’t have much sympathy.
