Nicole Kidman Tops The Hollywood Reporter's Annual Actress Salary List; Reese Witherspoon Comes in at Number Two

The Hollywood Reporter has released its fifth annual list of the ten highest-paid actresses on Hollywood-Reporter-dot-com, ahead of its fifteenth annual Women in Entertainment Power one-hundred issue being released on December 5th.

Risk-taking has paid off in 2006 for Nicole Kidman, who nabbed a career best salary for Warner Brothers Pictures' planned August release "The Invasion" after a string of daring choices. Kidman takes over the top spot bringing in sixteen-million to seventeen-million dollars per film. Reese Witherspoon, on the heels of her Oscar win for "Walk the Line," moves up to number two followed by Renee Zellweger, both earning fifteen-million dollars per picture.

This year, Kirsten Dunst makes her first appearance on the list commanding eight-million to ten-million dollars per film while Halle Berry, after falling off last year, rejoins the group at number six. Julia Roberts, who has topped the list since its inception, is not included this year because she did not star in a live-action film released in 2006.
