Julia Roberts is one of the year’s most underpaid actresses compared to her public clout:
Roberts, who recently took her first major network role in this year’s “Homecoming” on Amazon.com Inc.’s Prime Video, earned $13 million, putting her in seventh place among the highest-paid actresses, but in fourth place when it comes to her ability to bring in an audience.
A majority (54 percent) of the public said Roberts starring in a film or TV show would make them more likely to tune in, while 42 percent said her casting wouldn’t make a difference or they’d be less likely to watch.
