Biography
Julia Fiona Roberts, born in Smyrna, Georgia, never dreamed
she would become the most popular actress in America. As a child, due to
her love of animals, Julia originally wanted to be a veterinarian, but
later studied journalism. When her brother, Eric Roberts,
achieved some success in Hollywood, Julia decided to try acting. Her
first break came in 1988 when she appeared in two youth-oriented movies Mystic Pizza (1988) and Satisfaction
(1988). The movies introduced her to a new audience who instantly fell
in love with this pretty woman. Julia's biggest success was in the
signature movie Pretty Woman
(1990), for which Julia got an Oscar nomination, and also won the
People's Choice award for Favorite Actress. Even though Julia would
spend the next few years either starring in serious movies, or playing
fantasy roles like Tinkerbell, the movie audiences would always love
Julia best in romantic comedies. With My Best Friend's Wedding
(1997) Julia gave the genre fresh life that had been lacking in
Hollywood for some time. Offscreen, after a brief marriage, Julia has
been romantically linked with several other actors. Julia has also
become involved with UNICEF charities and has made visits to many
different countries, including Haiti and India, in order to promote
goodwill. Julia is one of the most popular and sought-after talents in
Hollywood.
