Cameron Diaz Makes 'Highest Paid Actress' List

By Michael Lopez

It looks like Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon, and Sarah Jessica Parker are not feeling the sting of the recession. According to Forbes, the three A-list stars earned a combined total of over $75 million within the past year.

This week the money magazine printed its official "Highest Paid Actress" list, which was chock full of names you know and love. There was Jennifer Aniston, who earned a cool $28 million for her film roles, and Sandra Bullock, who took home over $15 mill.

Cameron's grand total was around $18 million, which is not bad considering she only starred in three movies since last summer. But Forbes' big winner was Angelina Jolie. Despite being in two recent semi-flops (Salt and The Tourist), the actress was able to rake in $30 million, topping the list.

Other names rounding out the Top 10 included Meryl Streep (who's still earning a pretty paycheck in her 60's), Katherine Heigl, and Kristen Stewart.

Yes, there was a short supply of Latinas. But keep in mind that Penelope Cruz' Pirates sequel just crossed the $1 billion mark, so there's a good chance you'll see her on the Forbes rundown in the very near future.
