Leading ladies in Hollywood are arguably more prominent in the industry now than ever before, and are calling for more opportunities and recognition. Actresses such as Viola Davis, Patricia Arquette and Jennifer Lawrence have been vocal on the need for greater diversity, opportunity and equal pay.
MarketWatch’s partner Graphiq, which creates interactive graphics out of data sets, has released a list of the top 10 most famous actresses from its celebrity-focused division PrettyFamous. Each actress was given an “actor score,” which incorporates Wikipedia page views, total award nominations and the number of reviews posted for films and TV shows they’ve starred in

JLaw tops the list with a 98.3 actor score. Lawrence, one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood, has 28 acting credits and four Oscar nominations, including a win for “Silver Linings Playbook.” Lawrence has been one of the loudest voices in the struggle for equal pay in Tinseltown. Her net worth is $60 million. Last year she penned an essay for Lena Dunham’s “Lenny” newsletter titled “Why Do I Make Less Than My Male Co-Star?”
