Reese Witherspoon has reason to flash her sunny smile. The Legally Blonde actress is the only woman to appear on The Ulmer Scale's global bankability survey of actors in Hollywood. And she has topped the women's top 10 list as well.

The Ulmer Scale's Actors Hot List measures the power surges and drops of more than 1,400 stars around the world according to their bankability -- defined by James Ulmer [an international editor, columnist and founder of the company] as the degree to which an actor's name alone can trigger full financing for a movie.
