Check out Jennifer Jason Leigh ‘s career compared to current and classic actors. Most 100 Million Dollar Movies of All-Time.
IMDB credits Jennifer with 26 acting awards and 65 noms. Her current net worth is said to be $5 million. In the pipeline for her are-
1/Completed: the drama “Awake”. After a devastating global event wipes out all electronics and eliminated people’s ability to sleep, a former soldier may have found a solution with her daughter.
2/Completed: “Woman in the Window”. It seems like a Hitchcock-Rear Window-type voyeur thriller. An agoraphobic woman living alone in New York begins spying on her new neighbors, only to witness a disturbing act of violence.
3/Currently filming: TV series Lisey’s Story based on a Stephen King horror novel. A widow becomes the object of a dangerous stalker, obsessed with her husband’s work.
Hey Bob….thanks for the additional information on Jennifer Jason Leigh. Her net worth seems to be on the low side….but it is more than me….lol. Woman in the Window has gotten some good buzz….and has a stellar cast. Stay safe and healthy.
a consistently entertaining actress. i saw 7 including top 4 and bottom 1. no tens. 9 road to perdition. with dan on enjoying hudsucker proxy a 7 ,i was amazed by her high oracle of beacon ranking. i even enjoyed her worst UMR the boys club an 8, no women should watch. i enjoyed annihilation an 8. closest to a favorite was ron howard’s backdraft one of kurt russell’s top 10 for me. i just watched fast times at ridgemont high an 8. interesting anomaly, only one of her top 5 UMR is in her top 5 UMR reviews. i eagerly await The Bob’s net worth for this hard working actress.
Hey bob cox….thanks for the thoughts on Jennifer Jason Leigh. I like the “a consistently entertaining actress” part of your comment. Wow another Hudsucker Proxy fan…..now that is a small fan club…lol. I am right there with you on Backdraft….one of Kurt’s better movies…but stay away from Backdraft 2…brutally bad. That is interesting that her best reviewed movies are not really in her Top 5 UMR movies…good stuff as always.
