| While she's done her share of romantic comedies like Pretty Woman (1990) and My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), Julia has played all kinds of characters, from lawyers and housewives to fairies. She's probably best known for her roles in The Pelican Brief (1993), Conspiracy Theory (1997), Notting Hill (1999), and Erin Brockovich (2000). |

| Sure, there are plenty of other actresses that are quite pretty and benefit from a certain degree of popularity, but none of them even come close to Julia Roberts. She has so much charisma that the mere presence of her name on a marquee is enough to guarantee a great opening weekend. |

Everyone has come to recognize Julia Roberts' million-dollar smile. It's that smile, coupled with talent and remarkable charm, which led Julia Roberts to become one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood and one of the most recognizable faces in the world.
Julie Fiona Roberts was born on October 28, 1967, in Smyrna, Georgia. The daughter of a vacuum salesman and a church secretary, Julia is not the only Roberts sibling to pursue an acting career. Her brother and sister were also aspiring actors, albeit not as famous as Julia -- in fact, few even know their names.
As a 17-year-old girl with big dreams, Julia headed to the Big Apple to join her actress sister, Lisa. Starting out as a model in order to make a living, Julia took acting classes on the side in order to perfect her trade. She finally received her big break after her brother, B-movie actor Eric Roberts, convinced a director to cast his little sister in the film Blood Red.
Fours years passed between the production of Blood Red and its release, over the span of which Julia found television work on such series as Crime Story and Miami Vice. In 1988, she landed roles in the films Satisfaction and Mystic Pizza. Her role in the latter did not go unnoticed, and audiences and critics alike would soon remember the name Julia Roberts (who actually changed her name from Julie to Julia when she applied for a SAG card, to distinguish herself from another actress registered under the same name). In 1990, Oscar acknowledged Julia's work in Steel Magnolias by honoring her with a nomination for Best Supporting Actress. |
