Sophia Vergara Is The Highest-Earning TV Actress By A Landslide

The Alpha Female of the "Modern Family" clan, Sophia Vergara took the top spot on Forbes' list of Highest-Paid TV Actresses of 2013, for the second year in a row.

Vergara's earnings reached $30 million, thanks to a 16-time Emmy-winning ABC sitcom and a bilingual portfolio of endorsement deals.

The 41-year-old Colombian beauty has a clothing line at Kmart and is a spokeswoman for Diet Pepsi, Covergirl, Rooms To Go, Comcast, and State Farm insurance.

"Law & Order: SVU" veteran Mariska Hartigay and the resident bombshell on "The Big Bang Theory," Kelly Cuoco, tied for second place.

In May, Hartigay signed on for a 15th season of the cop drama, which averages an estimated 53 million viewers per episode.

Cuoco leapt 10 spots after receiving a raise, giving her $300,000 an episode, and padding her income with endorsements for Priceline and Toyota.

This year, the "Desperate Housewives" Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross disappeared from the list after leaving Wisteria Lane after eight seasons.

Kate Walsh ("Grey's Anatomy"), Marg Helegenberger ("CSI"), Kyra Sedgwick ("The Closer") also fell from the top 20.
