Scarlett Johansson Is the Highest-Grossing Actress Ever (And Behind 9 Dudes on Male-Dominated List)
The essential establishment that is Box Office Mojo just used its infinite data archives to compile a list of the highest-grossing stars in Hollywood. (So the folks whose movies have earned the most, not the highest-paid performers.) And Scarlett Johansson is No. 1—for women. She's actually No. 10 on the list, and the next actress, Cameron Diaz, doesn't show up until No. 19.
It's fabulous that ScarJo's movies have grossed $3.33 billion globally since she debuted in 1994 with the weird, bad Elijah Wood movie North. Her biggest works are, naturally, her Marvel joints, although The Jungle Book and Lucy have also been big successes. She's behind her fellow Marvel-ers Samuel L. Jackson (No. 2) and Robert Downey, Jr. (No. 5), but, at just 31 years of age, she's ahead of been-in-biz-wayyy-longer men like Bruce Willis (No. 13), Robert De Niro (No. 18), Matt Damon (No. 20) and Will Smith (No. 24).
