NEW YORK (JTA) — Forbes just released its list of Hollywood’s highest paid actresses, and (drumroll, please) two of the 10 stars are Jewish. Not bad, ladies!
Natalie Portman comes in at No. 8, having earned $14 million this year. While the Oscar winner has been in the news lately for her upcoming directorial debut in Jerusalem, it’s blockbusters like “Thor” that are bolstering her impressive paycheck.
A spot behind Portman is the Ukraine-born Mila Kunis with $11 million. Kunis is a newcomer to the Forbes list thanks to big hits like “Ted” and “Oz: The Great and Powerful.”
“Expect her quote, which is currently modest by Hollywood standards, to climb accordingly,” Forbes says of Kunis, “one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood.”
What, $11 million doesn’t sound modest to you? To put things in perspective, Angelina Jolie heads the list with $33 million.
