Last week, McGowan tweeted a casting call notice she received that asked actresses to wear “form-fitting” clothing that showed off their cleavage to their auditions.
The tweet quickly went viral, and she was praised for pointing out the sexism in Hollywood:

As you might have guessed from her not-so-subtle hint, the casting call was for an unnamed Adam Sandler film.
