The annual list of the world's highest-paid film actresses is out and one thing is for sure: Jennifer Lawrence continues to be Hollywood's It Girl of the moment, thanks in large part to her roles in The Hunger Games and X-Men.
There are a lot of familiar names from previous years on this list. Among the noteworthy changes are: the absence of Angelina Jolie, the fact that four women made more than $20 million (only one did in 2015), and the list has a decidedly international flavor, with the inclusion of Bollywood and Chinese actresses.
The figures were tallied using the actresses' pre-tax income from June 1, 2015 to June 1, 2016 before agent fees.
