The Los Angeles Times (http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/la-en-mn-lead-actress-roundtable-20171221-story.html)'magazine Envelope got into a bit of trouble with the internet and film fans last week.*
Actresses Jessica Chastain, Annette Bening, Margot Robbie, Diane Kruger, Saoirse Ronan, and Kate Winslet donned the cover of the issue, which was exploring 'a shift in focus' on how stories are being told in film—but the image and subsequent conversation included no women of color.*
The publication was called out for its lack of inclusion, and the ever outspoken Chastain responded to disheartened readers with a question and her own thoughts on the problem. *
