Unfortunately, there isn't one specific actress who can be definitively named as having been fired solely because of pregnancy. This is because pregnancy discrimination is often hidden or disguised as other reasons for termination.
However, there are many instances where actresses have spoken out about facing discrimination in Hollywood based on their pregnancy or motherhood. These situations highlight the systemic issues within the industry that need to be addressed.
Here are some examples:
- Claire Danes claimed that she was written out of a television show after she became pregnant.
- Sharon Stone was reportedly dropped from a film after she became pregnant.
- Michelle Pfeiffer was replaced in a film after she became pregnant.
- Hilary Swank has spoken out about the difficulty she faced finding work after becoming a mother.
These are just a few examples, and many more actresses have likely faced similar situations. It's important to remember that pregnancy discrimination is illegal, and women should be protected from it.
While it's difficult to point to a single actress who was fired solely for being pregnant, the experiences of these actresses and many others highlight the challenges faced by women in Hollywood.
