Julia Roberts tops Hollywood actresses’ rich list
Oscar-winner Julia Roberts tops The Hollywood Reporter's annual list of the highest-paid actresses for the second straight year - bringing in $20 million (euro17 million) per film - despite taking time off for motherhood.

Australian Nicole Kidman came in second place, with a $16 million to $17 million (euro13.6 million to euro14.4 million) per-film price tag, followed by 'Walk the Line' star Reese Witherspoon and actress-producer Drew Barrymore, who each command $15 million (euro12.7 million) per project.

Renee Zellweger, Angelina Jolie - who is believed to give a third of her income to charity - and Cameron Diaz each have a $10 million to $15 million (euro8.5 million to euro12.7 million) asking price.

Jodie Foster ($10 million to $12 million, or euro8.5 million to euro10.2 million), South Africa native Charlize Theron ($10 million, or euro8.5 million) and Friend's star Jennifer Aniston ($9 million, or euro7.6 million) round out the list.

The actresses' salary list was released Wednesday on The Hollywood Reporter Web site and will appear in its Women in Entertainment Power 100 issue on Dec. 6.
