Julia Roberts remains the highest-paid actress in Hollywood, a new survey has revealed.

The Pretty Women star topped The Hollywood Reporter's annual list of the highest-paid actresses for the second straight year.

According to the list, the Oscar-winning actress earns $20m a film, despite her taking a career break to have children.

Australian Nicole Kidman is second with $17m per movie, closely followed by Walk the Line star Reese Witherspoon and Batman Forever's Drew Barrymore on $15m per project.

Renee Zellweger, Angelina Jolie and Cameron Diaz earn between $10m and $15m a film, Jodie Foster picks up between $10m and $12m, Charlize Theron gets $10m and Jennifer Aniston receives $9m.

"These are bankable women," said Bob Dowling, editor and publisher of the Hollywood Reporter.

"They represent something quite positive and they're being paid for it."

Roberts, 38, has starred in a number of successful films, including Ocean's Eleven, Sleeping with the Enemy, Steel Magnolias, Something to Talk About, Notting Hill and Conspiracy Theory.
