Watch : Chuck Lorre Calls Charlie Sheen's Final Days on 'Two and a Half Men'  Dark  and  Frightening 

Holland Taylor is giving her two and a half cents on being underpaid.

The Two and a Half Men actress-who played Evelyn Harper, the mother of Charlie (Charlie Sheen) and Alan (Jon Cryer) on the CBS show-revealed why she didn't renew her contract after six years, instead opting to return occasionally as a guest star.

 I stopped being under contract. So, in other words, they would say,  Can you do a guest appearance at the end of March?' And I would say,  No, I cannot,'  Taylor said on the Oct. 21 episode of Alchemy with Anthony Mason.  I only did it if I wanted to do it. 

Though the 83-year-old said the producers were  astonished  by her choice, she appreciated the flexibility in scheduling. Plus, she noted that her paycheck wasn't as big as she would have liked.

 They never paid me very well on that show. I was paid on that show what I had made on a series like eight years before or something,  she said.  And I got four Emmy nominations and they never gave me a raise. They usually do.
