Julia: Pretty Wealthy Woman

How bankable is Julia Roberts? She didn't make one film in 2005, but she still tops the list of Hollywood's highest paid actresses for the second straight year.

According to the Hollywood Reporter's annual Power List of top-earning female stars, maternity leave didn't dent Roberts' paycheck: She still commands $20 million a picture.

The Pretty--and rich--Woman took time off her day job to play mommy to twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, who were born a year ago. She hasn't starred in a movie since 2004's Ocean's Twelve.

Not counting vocal parts in the upcoming animated films Charlotte's Web and Ant Bully, Roberts, 38, won't be seen on screen for several more months. Her next project will be the play Three Days of May, which will mark her Broadway debut. The curtain goes up in March.

Absent or not, the Oscar winner's salary is comparable to that of A-list male counterparts like Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford.

Also earning big bucks, per the Reporter rundown: Nicole Kidman, in second place with a price tag of $16 million to $17 million per film (despite recent disappointments like Bewitched and The Stepford Wives); and Reese Witherspoon and Drew Barrymore, both of whom earn $15 million per picture.

Renée Zellweger, Angelina Jolie and Cameron Diaz followed, each with an asking price between $10 million and $15 million per movie.

Making her way back to the top 10 for the first time since 2002 is Jodie Foster, whose thriller, Flightplan, was a big hit at the box office this year. She managed to land in eighth place with an estimated paycheck of $10 million to $12 million.

Charlize Theron, made her debut in the ninth position with $10 million a movie, while Jennifer Aniston rounded out the list in 10th place with $9 million per film.

Falling off the roll this year were Jennifer Lopez, Sandra Bullock and Halle Berry, although none is hurting for pocket change.

The list will be featured in the Reporter's annual Women in Entertainment Power 100 issue hitting newsstands Dec. 6.
