Cast Of The West Wing: How Much Are They Worth Now?

The 1999 film Cruel Intentions has become something of a cult classic even though it received mixed reviews. When it first went into production, it was an independent film, but was then picked up by Columbia Pictures, giving it more notoriety and a cast stocked full of young up and coming Hollywood stars. The extremely sexual plot and dark undertones drive the film, which follows two step-siblings from a wealthy family who make a strange bet involving the daughter of their prep school’s new headmaster. Sixteen years after its release, it was announced the film was getting a reboot as a TV series on NBC and the movie’s original writer-director Roger Kumble is at the helm of the project. The movie featured some of the biggest names in Hollywood when they were just getting their start, including Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair. Check out how much the cast is worth now!

10. Tara Reid

Estimated Net Worth: $2 Million. Many forget that infamous actress Tara Reid was in Cruel Intentions, but she was. Reid had a small part at the beginning as Marci Greenbaum, the daughter of Sebastian’s therapist who calls her mother crying about being wronged by him just at the end of his session with his therapist. Before the film, Reid had been in a handful of projects including Days of Our Lives, The Big Lebowski and Urban Legend. Afterwards, Reid’s star took off as she landed the role of Vicky in the American Pie films. In recent years, Reid has been more fodder for the tabloids than a respected actress, but she has sort of redeemed herself with her role in the Sharknado franchise. She has earned herself an estimated net worth of $2 million.

9. Louise Fletcher

Estimated Net Worth: $1 Million. Actress Louise Fletcher took on the role of Helen Rosemond (Sebastian’s aunt) in Cruel Intentions and unlike much of the rest of the cast, Fletcher had a lot of experience behind her before participating in the movie. With 134 acting credits to her name, Fletcher is best known for her work in the ’70s, particularly as Nurse Ratched in 1975’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The role earned Fletcher both an Oscar and a Golden Globe award for Best Actress in a Leading Role and Best Motion Picture Actress in a Drama. With so much talent and experience it is surprising she only has a net worth of $1 million.
