Forbes has done its annual numbers crunching and compiled/concocted its “Best Paid Actrresses” list, and Jennifer “Katniss” Lawrence tops it, earning over $52 million over the past year.
Scarlett Johannson had a VERY good year to come in second. Lots of “Avengers” money and pricey smaller projects brought her in at half of Lawrence’s take.
With Melissa McCarthy coming on strong at over $23 million, thanks to “Spy” and a cluster of comedies that put her stamp on the entertainment landscape.
BingBing Fan is the lone non-American in the top ranks, with Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie — the toppers ten years ago — hanging around in the mid-teens.
Reese Witherspoon somehow cracked back on the list. “Wild” did well enough, but that sell-out buddy comedy with Sofia Vergara probably put her over the top, just outside of the top ten.
If you go to the Forbes link, beware the obnoxious auto-play slide show (with muzak and ads) that accompanies it.
