Nicole Kidman of Forbes magazine's second annual list of least bankable stars.

The magazine used a simple ratio - they added up each actor's salary for their last three films, and divided it by the films' combined gross income, to get a payback factor.

In Kidman's case, last year she returned $8 for each $1 she earned. This year, she returned $1 for each dollar she earned.

She was paid $17 million for "Invasion" and the film lost $2.68 for each dollar it paid her.
