Actor/Actress Salaries for Older Films

[Ash]

Is there any way to find out how much an actor or actress got paid for a certain film?
Of course for more recent films all one has to do is pick up an issue of Entertainment Weekly or People Magazine to find out.

I'm talking older movies.

In the recent "Flash in the Pan" thread Mark Hamill is discussed.
How much $$$ did he make from the Star Wars trilogy?  How much for each one?

What about Harrison Ford in the "Indiana Jones" films?

How & where does one find out how much an actor or actress got paid for doing a certain movie or movies?

Any other actors' salaries you were wondering about?

I suspect that Harrison Ford received a decent salary for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK because he was already somewhat of a star because of STAR WARS.  I imagine he got BIG BUCKS for the Indiana Jones sequels.

I heard a radio interview with Mickey Rooney a few years ago and he said he was getting paid $200,000 per week to be in movies (this was several years after THE BLACK STALLION).

Cameron Mitchell got paid something like $1,200 - $1,700 per day for the movie FRANKENSTEIN ISLAND (according to the interviews on the DVD).

I think the extras on THE GODFATHER DVD (or maybe I read this somewhere) mentioned that Al Pacino got around $30,000 - $40,000 for the first GODFATHER movie, but he got at least $800,000 for every movie he made after that.
