Anna Kendrick Felt ‘Gross’ Making Money Off ‘Woman of the Hour,’ Donated All Her Pay to Anti-Violence Charities: ‘Felt Like the Least I Could Do’


Anna Kendrick felt "gross" making money off her Netflix movie about young women being murdered, so she donated her pay to RAINN and other charities.

Kendrick made her feature directorial debut with “Woman of the Hour,” which tells the true story of serial killer Rodney Alcala (played by Daniel Zovatto) and his 1978 appearance on “The Dating Game” in the midst of his killing spree. In a statement to Variety, the National Center for Victims of Crime and its CEO Renée Williams said they were “excited to learn about Anna’s gift, both to our organization and our friends at RAINN, and humbled by her support.” “In a world where the true crime genre often sensationalizes tragedy, Anna’s work in ‘Woman of the Hour’ stands out as a beacon of compassion and leadership,” the organization continued.
