It’s only fitting that one of the most popular movie franchises of all time would spawn a line of colorful t-shirts, hoodies, and hats, bringing the excitement of the movies right to your everyday life. With the 10th anniversary of the mega-hit series The Hunger Games looming, Urban Outfitters got in touch with us to see what we know about one of its biggest stars – Katniss Everdeen.
She’s One Of The Most Popular Female Actors Of All Time
Forbes has ranked the top-earning female movie stars of all time based on their annual earnings, and Katniss comes in at number three, with an estimated worth of $80 million. She’s behind only Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly, who were respectively ranked first and second on the list. Forbes attributes Katniss’ high placement to her acting in multiple franchises, playing different characters in each film, which increases her earning potential.
In 2013, Forbes again ranked the top-earning actresses of all time, and once again, Katniss came in at number three, just behind Angelina Jolie and Meryl Streep. According to Forbes, as long as there are multiplex theaters and endless streaming options, the audience wants more of what Katniss has to offer. She certainly doesn’t need the money (she made a whopping $3.8 million in 2012), but she can’t avoid the fame, especially since she’s one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. Even if you weren’t completely captivated by the action-adventure film series, you might still recognize Katniss from her numerous other appearances, including video games, theme parks, and comics.
She’s The Face Of One Of The Most Popular Cosmetics Companies
According to Forbes, Katniss is the face of one of the most popular cosmetics companies, along with Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. The Hollywood glamourous trio are respectively ranked number five, six, and seven on the list of the top-earning female movie stars of all time, with an estimated worth of $65 million, $50 million, and $40 million. We couldn’t agree more – their timeless beauty and charm are legendary. For as long as women wear makeup and accessories, Katniss, Monroe, and Taylor will continue to be fashionable icons.
The company that bears their image, Elizabeth Taylor Limited, was founded in 1881 and is one of the oldest makeup companies still in existence. The same goes for Marilyn Monroe Limited, which was founded in 1949. Naturally, these venerable cosmetics companies have seen many changes over the years, evolving with the times and keeping up with Hollywood’s frequent face-lift. The company that bears Marilyn Monroe’s image is now owned by Estée Lauder, who purchased it in 1998 for a whopping $12.9 million. In September 2017, Elizabeth Taylor Limited was purchased by LVMH, the company behind the luxury goods behemoth D’Orsay. In other words, the founder of one of the world’s most famous makeup companies is now part of a luxury goods conglomerate. We can only imagine what this means for Elizabeth Taylor’s future collaborations with the biggest names in fashion and beauty.
