Los Angeles, Oct 9 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The ‘King Kong’ actress Naomi Watts has been named as the most bankable star by Forbes magazine.
The 41-year-old beauty, who has also starred in ‘The Ring’, ‘King Kong’ and ‘Eastern Promises’ helped the box office rake in an estimated 44 times the amount she was paid for, i.e. around $44 for every $1 she was paid for her last three major films.
She topped Forbes magazine’s new rundown of the famous females who pull in the most box office bucks for producers, financiers and studio executives.
Another thing in Watts favor is that she has never been involved in any kind of felony, assault or scandal.
The list’s top spots are notably filled by many actresses willing to accept a lower salary than A-list stars like Angelina Jolie – who was named Hollywood’s highest-earning actress by Forbes earlier this year, reports BANG.
The full Forbes list is here:
Naomi Watts - $44 for every $1
Jennifer Connelly - $41 for every $1
Rachel McAdams - $30 for every $1
