Who Are the Highest Paid Actresses on TV?

On the new Forbes list, the top ten highest-paid actresses on TV earned a total of $94 million. But how did it break down?
Desperate Housewives” hottie Eva Longoria and “30 Rock” comedic genius Tina Fey top the list with $13 million each in salaries and syndication profits. Which seems incredibly unfair to Fey, who isn’t the one-trick pony Longoria seems to be.
Longoria’s co-star Marcia Cross, “Law & Order: SVU” actress Mariska Hargitay and “CSI”‘s Marg Helgenberger all tied for second with $10 million.
The other two “Housewives,” Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman, each made $9 million. Having Huffman among the least-paid of the group is a sin — she and Cross are both versatile, mad-talented performers who should easily get more than Longoria. (Maybe they should hire her manager.)
Cougar Town”‘s Courteney Cox and Ellen Pompeo from “Gray’s Anatomy” tied at $7 million, and “The Good Wife” star Julianna Margulies came in last with $6 million.
If all of these ladies seem overpaid, just remember that movie stars get paid a lot more — the top three women on that list made as much as all 10 of the TV actresses combined.
