Earning
List
Nicole
Kidman
is the highest paid film
actress according to the
Hollywood Reporter's
annual list.
The
39-year-old Australian
is paid $17m
(£8.7m) for each
movie, overtaking last
year's leader Reese
Witherspoon, who can
command a $15m
(£7.6m)
fee.
Renee
Zellweger
is in third place, also
banking $15m per
film.
Julia
Roberts
did not make the list
for the first time in
its five-year history,
as she has taken time
off acting to raise her
twins.
But
Nicole Kidman, 39, who
won an Oscar for playing
writer Virginia Woolf in
The Hours, was unable to
match the feat of fellow
Oscar winner Roberts,
who has commanded $20m
(£10.2m) per
film.
Charlie's
Angels co-stars Drew
Barrymore and
Cameron
Diaz
were in fourth and fifth
place, respectively,
both scoring
$15m.
Two
more Oscar winners,
Halle Berry, who won for
her role in Monster's
Ball earned $14m
(£7.1m) per movie,
and South African
actress Charlize Theron
- Academy Award winner
for Monster - earned
$10m
(£5.1m).
Angelina
Jolie
makes eighth spot with
$10m, followed by
