The Figures and Oeuvre of Top Paid Actresses

Angelina Jolie Tops Our List Of Hollywood's Highest-Paid Actresses, so Forbes announces.  A fellow Googler+ asked:

How many of these actresses deserve to be on the list?

I'm not wont to make this judgment:  What they earned is what they earned, deservedly or not.  I hold to the belief that art has two sides to its coin:  creative and commercial.  The relationship between the two - having talent and making money, more specifically - may be a complex one and may be attributed, as many would in some cases, to luck of the draw.

So we have working figures.  Let's look at the oeuvre of the top three, shall we.

Angelina Jolie wrote and directed "In the Land of Blood and Honey," showcasing her multifaceted repertoire.

Jennifer Lawrence won the Oscar for Best Actress in "Silver Linings Playbook," as such a young age that more, no doubt, are in the offing.

Kristen Stewart managed to get paid upfront for her role in "Snow White and the Huntsman," and thus may have more negotiating prowess than acting talent.
