Julia Roberts has become the first actress to make The Hollywood Reporter's annual list of the entertainment industry's most influential women.

Roberts ranks No. 3 on the trade publication's Power 50, published Tuesday. Paramount Pictures executive Sherry Lansing tops the list a second straight year.

Roberts, whose $20 million price per movie makes her the highest-paid actress in Hollywood, has appeared in more than 30 films, including "Erin Brockovich," "The Runaway Bride" and "Pretty Woman."

"Julia Roberts is really the only actress in Hollywood who has the ability to have any project she's interested in made," said Christy Grosz, managing editor of special issues. "She's the only one who can command that kind of power."
