Position six is not where the celebrated Oscar-winning actress would want to be, but it has been a year Hollywood choked on the pitchers of tears Halle usually offers. The awful Catwoman sank at the box-office, and that was Halle's only film in a relatively news-free year.

After Gothika, Berry really needs to be pickier about her roles. Not much chance of that happening in the near future, however, as she's signed on for a remake of the glorious Foxy Brown.

5. Drew Barrymore - $15 million

It's funny how many actresses on the list are those who haven't enjoyed a massive presence at the box-office this year.

Drew will only remember 2004 because she lost her father, John Barrymore. In more cinematic terms, she developed the memory span of a day (remember Bill Murray and Groundhog Day?), and spent her life constantly falling in love with (gasp) Adam Sandler. Can't imagine a worse fate for a woman with a smile as pretty, but 50 First Dates worked.
