January 3, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Forbes has unveiled its annual list of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood for 2017, with Emma Stone leading the way with $26 million in earnings thanks in no small part to her Oscar-winning turn as Mia in Damien Chazelle’s La La Land.

Here’s the full top ten:

1. Emma Stone – $26 million
