I know most people saw this clip, but I have to admit that interview with Jennifer Lawrence is possibly the most charming reaction I have ever seen from a professional actress.



I think it is the combination of her being thunderstruck, but still providing a saucy comeback to Nicholson. Then the tongue in the corner of the mouth seems like such a genuine reaction. She comes off as being completely unaffected, as if she was talking with her family around the kitchen table completely unaware that millions of people are watching her.

She could end up one of the great acresses of her generation,

She is a good actress. I thought she did a great job in "Winter's Bone", but her voice has a raspy quality that sounds like she's a chain smoker. I think it may limit her appeal.

It looks like Jennifer Lawrence has a fan in no less than Prince Harry.

Is this for movies or endorsements? I cannot remember the last time Angelina Jolie made a movie? Actually, even if she did, does anyone actually see her movies?

The time period for earning the $33 million is June 2012 and June 2013.
Maleficent the Disney fantasy is going to be released on 2 July 2014 , so she may have already been paid for her work in that movie.
In the Land of Blood and Honey had a limited release 23 December 2011 for which she was paid $2,500,000
She did a voice for Kung Fu Panda 2 released 26 May 2011 for which she was paid $1,000,000 but probably includes a percentage
The Tourist released on 10 December 2010 she was paid $19,000,000

But the $33million must include all sources of income. There is no way to get to $33 million from residuals on an animated film released in theaters two years earlier.

===========================
Jennifer Lawrence was paid about $1 million for The Hunger Games (2012). She should earn $10 million for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (22 November 2013) but presumably she didn't get paid that much up front. So her total has to include endorsements. She got her Dior endorsement contract in October 2012, so that has to be a big part of the $26 million.

===========================
Kirsten Stewart was paid $12,500,000 + 7.5% of the gross for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2

So that movie made
Domestic: $292,324,737
+ Foreign: $537,360,640

So 7.5% of $292,324,737 is $22 million. Presumably her salary was paid the previous year, and her whole earnings for this year is just the profit sharing for one movie.
Forbes has her at
$22.0 million between June 2012 and June 2013.
$34.5 million between June 2011 and June 2012.
$20.0 million between June 2010 and June 2011
$12.0 million between June 2009 to June 2010

So that is $88.5 million in 4 years. Before that she was still getting multi-million dollar salaries, but just not in the top 10.
I think she must have made about $80 million on the full 5 picture series.

For all the publicity surrounding Angelina Jolie - I cannot remember her having a "hit" movie since Tomb Raider
