Is being Hollywood's highest-paid actress enough to make you forget about a cheating ex-husband? You'll have to ask Sandra Bullock. Despite her difficult year, Bullock has earned the distinction of becoming the highest-paid actress in Hollywood, earning $56 million between June 2009 and June 2010.

Bullock topped the likes of Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz for the premiere spot on the annual Forbes list. Forbes editors looked at income from film roles in addition to money that stars might have earned from perfume deals, clothing lines and ad campaigns. Sandra's roles in The Blind Side and The Proposal cemented her position.

Forbes reported that Bullock cut her usual fee to star in The Blind Side -- and reaped a large share of the film's profits in return.
Jennifer Aniston's $27 million haul was good enough for fourth place on the list, behind Witherspoon and Diaz, who each made about $32 million. Sarah Jessica Parker ranked fifth with $25 million.
The complete list is as follows:

Sandra Bullock: $56 million
Reese Witherspoon: $32 million
Cameron Diaz: $32 million
Jennifer Aniston: $27 million
Sarah Jessica Parker: $25 million
Julia Roberts: $20 million
Angelina Jolie: $20 million
Drew Barrymore: $15 million
Meryl Streep: $13 million
Kristen Stewart : $12 million
