Before Brad Pitt became one of Hollywood's highest-paid actors, he received only $6,000 for his breakout role in Thelma & Louise (1991). The charming drifter J.D., Pitt's only brief appearance, launched him into the spotlight. At the time, Pitt was an unknown actor, and the amount he drew reflected that. Once word got out about the exciting film, his career soared through the roof, and Pitt started receiving millions per project.
