In Mad Money, a mismatched trio of down-and-out women working at the Federal Reserve concocts a slick scheme to make away with armloads of worn-out but still legal tender earmarked for destruction and use the cash to improve their lots in life.
Hollywood.com asked Mad Money stars Katie Holmes, Queen Latifah, Diane Keaton, Ted Danson and director Callie Khouri about the paydays that changed their lives. The question threw the Queen at first: "I was counting money in my mind and you threw it off," she laughed.

"When I got Dawson's Creek, I was 18 and I had just graduated from high school and, in my eyes, I thought I was making a lot. I did what every other girl who was 18 and from where I was from did: I bought jeans and a great sweater that weren't on sale. I thought, 'Wow. I better not buy anything for a really long time. I don't want to let it go to my head.' So that was my big splurge, and I still have the sweater. I won't give it up."
