U.S. business magazine Forbes reported on Monday that among the top five actors and actresses in operating income from their movies in Hollywood this year, top-ranked Chris Evans was the only actor, and was followed by all actresses who ranked second to fifth. Announced every year by Forbes, ‘Hollywood’s Best Actors for the Buck’ are singled out by dividing the operating income of recent three movies in which they appear before June each year by the actors’ combined pay.

Top-ranked Evans, who appeared in the ‘Captain America: Winter Soldiers’ and ‘Avengers’ franchises for less than 10 million US dollars, has been found to have earned 181.80 dollars per dollar paid to him. He was trailed by four actresses namely Mila Kunis (87.30 dollars), Scarlett Johansson (84.90 dollars), Gwyneth Paltrow (82.90 dollars), and Emma Stone (54 dollars). Since actresses take up four of the top five, controversy over ‘gender discrimination in pay against females,’ which first erupted following hacking of Sony Pictures in November last year, will like continue to linger.
