2008/09 has been a very good year for the actress with big budget blockbuster Wanted one of the hits of last summer before going on to be nominated for an Oscar for her role in Changeling and is currently filming thriller Salt.

Jennifer Aniston was beaten into second place with $25 million with earnings from hit comedy Marley and Me, in which she starred with Owen Wilson, He's Just Not That Into You and Friends.

The huge box office musical hit Mamma Mia secured Meryl Streep third place with $24 million. Mamma Mia became the biggest grossing musical of all time after it was released last summer and she followed that up with an Oscar nominated performance in Doubt.

And the movie for Sex and the City from television to the big screen hasn't harmed Sarah Jessica Parker as she was in fourth with $23 million.
