Nov 29 7:56 PM US/Eastern
Nicole Kidman is the queen of Hollywood when it comes to money. The Oscar winner, who earns as much as $17 million per movie, tops the fifth annual list of highest-paid actresses released Wednesday by The Hollywood Reporter.
Kidman, 39, ranked second on last year's list behind four-time top- earner Julia Roberts, who didn't make the list this year. She spent time with her 2-year-old twins.
In second place, with $15 million per movie, was Reese Witherspoon, 30, who won the best-actress Oscar this year for her performance in "Walk the Line."
Renee Zellweger, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz placed third, fourth and fifth, respectively. They also get $15 million for each film.
Rounding out the top 10 are Halle Berry ($14 million), Charlize Theron ($10 million), Angelina Jolie ($10 million), Kirsten Dunst ($8 million to $10 million) and Jennifer Aniston ($8 million).
The list will appear in the Women in Entertainment Power 100 issue to be published by The Hollywood Reporter on Dec. 5.
I loved Maureen O'Hara.
Probably thinks she's protecting herself that way. Dinghy broad doesn't realize it only benefits her if she has her partners tested as well.
Oh yes, her too! There were so many back in the day. Beautiful, classy, talented women are such a rarity these days.
Such a shame.
She owes her career to her marriage to Tom Cruise. If it werent for that, she'd still be an unknown actress playing bit parts.
Nicole Kidman is beautiful. So are Halle Berry and Charlize Theron. Maybe the others are being paid for acting, too?
