Nov 1,2023 11:11 pm

Olivia Colman pregnancy was written to Bbc One , The Night -Manager

Claire Danes pregnant belly is hidden, with the computer graphics, the hid in the second season of Homeland, Olivia Coleman in big sweaters during the shooting of The Night Manager. And if Gillian Anderson could the bump be hidden on the X-files, Scully was abducted by aliens.

all of the actors, However, are not spoiled by the production.

the play smaller roles in movies and commercials often find they are forced to hide their pregnancies, not by the viewers but by the people who the programs themselves.

Some are successful, but many will be abused, from an industry characterised by high staff turnover, an excess of competition and, in some cases, a profound lack of respect.

Several women who spoke with the BBC on the condition of anonymity. All say they lost jobs or audition, when it was found that they were pregnant.

Either you were asked, open about their pregnancy on a form prior to your audition, or you were asked In Person during the Interview .

actors with smaller parts play often find they are forced to hide their pregnancies, Three, spoke to the BBC were, showed not to have been at the time, your advertising would have a shot.

', I felt so weak,'Sarah (not her real name) describes himself as a jobbing actress. She works mainly on films and TV, but ads help to pay The Bills .

they had Early on in your pregnancy, reservations against a commercial audition that your agent had planned. She decided to tell him her news, and she expected the worst.

"But, he was brilliant," she says. He told her about her rights. As under The Law on gender equality, she was not obliged to inform you about your pregnancy until 15 weeks before your due date.

"you are not allowed to discriminate against you," he promised.

The casting announcement for The Audition , which could often be considered a glitch, said the ad may require some Physical Activity , but also mentioned a stunt double used for the more sporting Moments .

"It made me so insecure about my pregnancy, and My Own physical abilities", Sarah and her agent decided that she should just go to hear and see. "You always want to be ready and available for Work ," she says.

their concern grew, as she sat between The Other Actresses in the waiting area outside The Audition room.

women that have just been highlighted from the meeting and said The Experience was physically exhausting. Sarah was up next. Your name has been called, in addition to any other actress who was auditioning for the same role. You went to see as a couple of the Casting Director .

The Other woman was first elected to the reading of the lines. Then the Casting Director turned to Sarah.

"you make the physical part. You are fit?" she was asked. "I'm fit, but I must be sure," She Said .

"Why?" the Casting Director said. "Because I'm pregnant," said Sarah.

she says, the Casting Director was then angry and said: "didn't you read The Script ? What did you think we were going to do today? I don't know and don't understand why you came. Don't you think it was a bad idea?"

Sarah says she felt humiliated and Froze .

Legally, audition, actors should not be asked personal questions about relationships, or Family Planning , "I said to the Casting Director , I Am in turn sorry for wasting your time, And Then I even said, The Other actress and I 'm so sorry, didn't want to waste your time".

"Then the Casting Director said, 'Yes, I think it is best if you leave'. "

Sarah left the casting, and once on The Street , she burst into tears. "It made me so insecure about my pregnancy, and My Own physical abilities. It made me so weak. "

your "confidence was knocked," she says, until you get a role in a TV series shoot, where the production was much friendlier and had no problem, they made the bump up.

Tim Gale, head of advertising at Actors' Equity, Tim Gale, head of advertising at the actors ' Union, equity, is very familiar with the advocacy for its members on this issue.

"We get two to three calls per week, but we get less than a month now," says Mr. Gale.

Sometimes a form is, in the waiting room, to say the ask of the actor to tick a box, if you or your partner expect.

actors of both sexes, of the say sent the BBC copies of these forms, that if she revealed a pregnancy, jobs that had backed up, were either pulled or delayed.

A few said that they spoke with The Union and assumed the problem had sorted was according to their specific situation dealt with.

But Mr storm says even in the last few weeks, he has seen that these forms of pop-up.

actors' Equity, together with the Casting Directors Association, and The Institute of practitioners in advertising, have designed to fill out an artist form.

The form asks to put only a actor open, reputational risk, or for any other reason a player may not be able to travel with the plane. There is no mention of the pregnancy.

The actors ' Union, has Shell, the production company, the use of this new form, but it is such a high turnover of staff in the production companies, the emergence of old forms again and again.

Sometimes the insurance companies will take used for the commercial productions of such a form, and equity has to fight this had also.

the pregnancy is not a disability under the equality act - and, therefore, the insurance companies demand the production of refuse Work to those expected.

'A long road'If a actress wins a role in an insurance company is allowed to ask after the health of The Actress . Commercial productions only film that is made for A Day or two, and an Intensive risk assessment, the factor of cost that could arise from a delay in the recording.

While it is not appropriate to ask at The Job Interview stage, after they are thrown, so the insurance is on the side of the production issues, for example, if an actress is pregnant.

you can also increase your premiums when you find out a woman is pregnant, but additional costs have no influence on The Right . The Actress can't be fired, as it would be discrimination.

But, experts say, the same insurance company could be liable if a Director or producer who misuse that information, and The Actress fired.

"things are much better than you, even five years ago. But it was a long way up to this point," says Mr Gale.

The Association is not representing the casting Directors say it is acceptable to ask the actors if they are pregnant, "prior to or at the casting calls".

Kate Evans , Chairman of the Casting Directors Association, "If the actors are pregnant, we would expect that casting Directors, to support them, as well as those who are not breast-feeding, or maybe a child-care obligations," says Kate Evans , the Chairman of the Casting Directors Association.

you Know your right, many players are not aware of their rights in the framework of the 2010 law on gender equality. The Equality and Human Rights Commission - responsible for the execution of the plot - says the actor should not be asked any personal questions about relationships and Family Planning in interviews.

"Such attitudes are straight out of the Dark Ages and have No Place in a modern Work culture," says The Commission . "Everyone has The Right to Work and a Work environment that allows them to reach their full potential. "

Katie Wood, a lawyer for the maternity action says sometimes The Law is wrong, because the employers think The Law on equality includes only full-time employees, but pregnancy rights refers to the self-employed as well.

"ask someone a question, whether your partner was pregnant, holds the potential for associative discrimination," she says.

the English case-law on actors is diverse, and some of the results that were actors. This means that you Work as a sole trader, maybe a service for a company, like a plumber. But Ms Wood says that the equality act.

'Lonely experience'actress told the BBC that they continue, because they rejected the only "flat-out", not to mention her pregnancy. "I didn't tell my agent. I didn't tell anyone. I was afraid it would make me Work cost. "

"If I had on my costume, I increased definitely weight. They asked: "what happened?' And I lifted up my hands and said, 'Oh, Yes. I Wonder why'. "
