Model turned-actress Nicole Kidman arrived third on the list of Hollywoods highest paid actresses, reports AFP. The star of The Hours is earning $15 million per film and is said by the Hollywood Reporter to have more star power than equally paid Reese Witherspoon and Drew Barrymore.
The star of Pretty Woman Julia Roberts, who gave birth to twins Hazel and Phinnaeus last week, with her $ 20 million per film salary is topping the list. The runner up is Cameron Diaz commanding the same fee, but placed second due to her absence from the big screen in 2004, except lending her voice to cartoon princess in Shrek 2.
However, Diaz still has the chance to make up for her absences and nab more roles, as the new mom Roberts said she intends to spend more time with her family.
Catwoman Halle Berry ranks sixths, femme fatale Angelina Jolie appearing in Hollywood’s epic Alexander and Miss Congeniality Sandra Bullock rank number seven with paychecks ranging from $12 million to $15 million.
Cute Renee Zellweger, appearing in the next Bridget Jones movie The Edge of Reason, ranks number nine, and J.LO, who is evidently more successful as singer and fashionista than movie star, ranks tenth with her humble salary of $12 million.
