LOS ANGELES -- Angelina Jolie was Hollywood's top-earning actress over the last year, earning an estimated US$27 million between June 2008 and June 2009, according to Forbes annual Celebrity 100 list released Thursday. Jolie's jackpot came mostly from last year's Wanted but also from a hefty advance for next year's thriller Salt, in which she plays a CIA agent accused of being a Russian spy.

Second on the list was Jennifer Aniston, ex-wife of Jolie's boyfriend Brad Pitt, who earned US$25 million for her work in the romantic comedy Marley & Me and the upcoming comedy The Baster. Meryl Streep earned US$24 million thanks to last summer's hit Mamma Mia, while Sarah Jessica Parker came in fourth with US$23 million for the big-screen debut of Sex and the City.
