Scarlett Johansson just became the highest-grossing actress in history
Hillary Clinton isn't the only woman cracking glass ceilings lately. Actress Scarlett Johansson just made Hollywood history by becoming the "highest grossing actress of all time," and possibly the first woman to crack Box Office Mojo's top-ten list of the top-grossing actors, The Cut reports.
At number 10 on the list, with a total gross box office revenue of $3.3 billion, Johansson, 31, sits behind the likes of Harrison Ford, Samuel L. Jackson, and Morgan Freeman. However, Ford, who ranks first on the list, has a gross revenue nearly $1.5 billion more than Johansson's, at nearly $4.9 billion.
The next woman after Johansson on the list is Cameron Diaz at number 19. All in all, only nine women appear in the top 50.
