Entertainment people are independent contractors who negotiate their own salary on the basis of what they, and the producer, think their value to a production might be. Actors might take roles for reasons where money is hardly a consideration at all. Kristen Stewart made a huge salary working on Twilight movies, but at the same time she was also appearing in small-budget movies where she was paid very little, just because she wanted to try different things. Nicolas Cage, on the other hand, only cares about money right now. He'll appear in any piece of crap as long as the pay is right, because he has to pay off debts.
For a little-known actress, taking a small salary for a big role might be a great career move if it brings recognition that boosts her career.
