SODAHEAD SLIDESHOW: Highest-Paid TV Actresses

In its annual list, Forbes placed Vergara as No. 1 on its "Top Earning TV Actress" tally. And it's not hard to see why. The Columbian bombshell earned a whopping $30 million between the time period of June 2012 and June 2013, making her -- by a longshot -- the highest paid actress on television.

Still, though Vergara made the most money out of all TV actresses this year, does that make her the most talented? Kaley Cuoco holds her own among a sea of geeks on "The Big Bang Theory." Mariska Hargitay makes her character beyond believable in "Law and Order: SVU." And how about those Kardashians, right?! (We kid about the last one.)

From Sofia Vergara to Kaley Cuoco to Mariska Hargitay, see the stars who've landed on Forbes' "Top Earning TV Actress" list and tell us who you think is the most talented from the bunch.
