LONDON, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- British actress Emma Watson was Hollywood's highest-paid actress in 2009, Vanity Fair reported.

Watson, 19, is best known for her work in the Harry Potter film franchise. She also has appeared in several high-profile fashion campaigns, the BBC noted.

She reportedly earned $30 million last year and came in at No. 14 on the overall list of high earners.

Hollywood's top five moneymakers in 2009 were all film directors and producers -- Michael Bay with $125 million, Steven Spielberg with $85 million, Roland Emmerich with $70 million, James Cameron with $50 million and Todd Phillips with $44 million, the BBC said.
