Our best guess—Angelina Jolie—wasn’t even in the top 10.
Can you guess the highest-grossing actress in Hollywood history? We couldn’t. Our best guess—Angelina Jolie—wasn’t even in the top 10.
Box Office Mojo just released stats on the highest-grossing actors and actresses, and the stats put Scarlett Johansson at the top for women. With films having amassed $3.3 billion at the domestic box office, ScarJo was No. 10 overall on the list. (In the No. 1 spot: Harrison Ford.) The list is based on the total amount of money each person’s combined films have grossed.
Here’s where the Top 15 highest-ranking women fell on the list:
10 Scarlett Johansson
19 Cameron Diaz
26 Helena Bonham Carter
29 Cate Blanchett
30 Julia Roberts
31 Elizabeth Banks
47 Sandra Bullock
50 Anne Hathaway
60 Sigourney Weaver
61 Carrie Fisher
69 Angelina Jolie
79 Michelle Rodriguez
82 Zoë Saldana
84 Sally Field
86 Natalie Portman
A black actress didn’t hit the list until No. 82, Zoë Saldana. Queen Latifah and Halle Berry followed at 105 and 108.
